Mine is from the teacher's store and isn't personalized with the smiley faces from the program. I hope others are checking into the "Piano is Fun" program. It is so worthwhile for note reading. D’Net,

On the Tech Tips page of their website there's a PDF instruction sheet that tells you how to do it and shows examples of several types of triplets. (The website link for MacMusic Fonts is the 5th link down on the right hand side of this page.) :-) StaffWriter does simple triplets, and with the use of text boxes, can even manage more complicated ones.

They get a point for each complete practice session, doing their theory, scales and technique, memorizing pieces, counting or saying the letter names out loud during the lesson, and so on. It keeps them motivated, especially with the promise of an ice cream party at the end. I am incredibly generous for points in the summer.
