The confusing notes im talking about, the first ones you can see, are above some of the first lyrics(lyrics are korean symbols) and again another reminder, there's an X on the note with a line on top.
A. That looks like the kind of notes used in music written for percussion instruments. In those instruments, pitch is not usually an issue, so they replace the noteheads with an X. It's a strange use, though, because even percussion instruments are written into a staff to indicate which percussion instrument is used(like the difference between cymbal and a snare drum). In this case, I agree with Kay and jones. It must be to indicate the rhythm for speaking the words. Also, from looking at your sheet music, it seems to be used to indicate, specifically, how the Korean(?) words are spoken. I haven't looked the entire thing over though.
They are not double sharps, because how could they be? That would need a notehead for them to be attached to, in order to get sharpened.
EDIT:
After looking at the sheet music closer, I noticed the notes don't always stay in the same place. I don't really know how pitches relate to percussion instruments, but higher percussion instruments seeeem to be at the top and lower at the bottom. Also certain symbols are used for these percussion instruments, and this one looks like some of the cymbals. Here's a link to a picture showing what I mean:

I wonder if you could use piano notes as percussion, that is if you never change their pitch. I'm just saying because I don't really know this music or Korean so I can only just say to think about it. Maybe it does have to do with the words, I dunno. I guess you should just make it sound right.
what is the scope for teaching Piano to 5-6 year old children who refuse to even sit still at the piano ?
Q. what is the scope for teaching Piano to 5-6 year old children who refuse to even sit still at the piano ?
Calling all piano teachers !
What is the scope of teaching piano to very young children who refuse to curve their fingers and refuse to sit still at the piano ?
How do you determine the teaching objectives at each piano session and the scope from where to where, and what piano techniques when all they want to do when they come to class is play.
Even when You devise musical games and the children don't really take it seriously,how do you handle children who are loud and boisterous and shouts in your ear instead of speaking to you ?
And What are the sort of musical games you can play with them to ensure the teaching objectives are met ?
How do you enforce discipline without caning these children?
Your opinions please.
Thanks
A. Do they have 5-minute attention spans?
Then let's see how many ideas we can come up with, and then multiply by 5.
1. Play bichordal songs while the student, sitting at the bass end of the keyboard, plays do and so on cue. "Found a Peanut" is good.
2. Little kids' attention span isn't really shorter than ours, just different. I find that they won't complain a bit if you ask them to run through an activity in all 12 keys. It's easy to run through a song in all 12 keys on an Omnichord, but the piano keyboard might also be good. Don't be surprised if a child wants to play a bichordal song in all 12 keys every week.
An adult student, on the other hand, would go bananas.
The two keys to a young child's attention are one: complete matrices and two: role reversals.
I once had a 3-year-old student who played all 12 major chords on the Omnichord while I sang her name and played the notes on the bells. Then she did the same thing while I sang "Mommy" and a third time while I sang "Daddty." Then she went through the minor chords three more times. Then we switched places and we went through all 12 keys six more times while she played the bells and I played the chord organ.
3. Play compositions in which the child has an ostinato part.
Rimsky-Korsakoff, Borodin, and three other Russian composers got together and composed a real masterpiece, which they gave a title beginning with the word "Paraphrases." You can order it from sheetmusicplus.
4. Tcherepnin composed another goodie, entitled "Exploring the Piano," which was published by C. F. Peters and is available from sheetmusicplus.
If you run low on duets of this nature, compose your own. I just finished arranging some very simple and very short Korean songs for this purpose. If you are interested, let me know and I'll put my scanner to good use.
5. Try some simple melodic dictation, using very few notes. Spoken intonation is good for this purpose. Using only mi, so, and la, ask the child to play something like "I was just kidding," "I'm gonna tell on you," or "Why are you mad at me?"
In case you're wondering what I'm talking about, here is my sociolinguistics term paper:

Two- or three-note snippets are easy for anyone, even little kids, to transpose into all 12 keys. Be sure your students get involved in transposing early, before they even learn that transposing is SUPPOSED to be difficult.
Again, I remind you that little kids like role reversal. I hope you won't be offended if the student reads the utterance and asks you to play it.
6. Since 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16, there are 16 possible 4/4 rhythms using quarter notes and/or eighth-note couplets. Make a deck of 32 playing cards, with one pair for each possible rhtyhm.
This deck is good for playing concentration. Use only a part of the deck for each game, though. Otherwise, the game will last forever.
7. When the child seems to be able to distinguish the rhythms by sight, play old maid. If a third person is present, invite that person in the game. Without looking, take one card out of the deck at the beginning of the game. Neither you nor the student will know what that card is until the end of the game.
8. When the student knows the rhythms well enough, play go fish.
9. Using manipulative quarter notes and eighth note couplets, have rhythmic dictation exercises.
I hope you don't feel insulted if the student turns this exercise around.
I also hope you don't feel frustrated if the child rearranges the notes according to whim. The child is still learning.
10. Take the scores of the songs in the child's repertoire. Run them through the copy machine or scanner and make 2 copies. Cut up both copies and make playing cards. Now you have another deck for concentration . . .
11. . . . old maid . . .
12. . . . and go fish.
That's 12 ideas.
12 x 5 = 60, so that's enough for one hour!
After you get comfortable with teaching preschoolers, you will find the preschool parents more annoying than the preschool children.
Music sheet requested ?
Q. Hi all!
I'm looking for a piano sheet for the OST theme Byul Star of the Korean drama 200 pounds beauty. I prefer a version with melody and chords, not the background music (most of the music sheet found online are backgrounds)
If anyone has one, please share it to me
Many thanks!!
A. most songs out today,
are not available in sheet music,
and VERY few songs, have multiple versions .
(with and without different parts)
it's not worth it for the Music Companies,
to spend the thousands of dollars, and hundreds of hours, transcribing those songs,
doing all that work
when so feel people are willing to pay for their time.
We will probably see even less sheet music available, in the near future, for this reason.
