On the wooden board, round spaces are cut out corresponding to the
notes. Inside each of the spaces there is a figure. On one side of
each of the discs is written a number and on the other the name of
the note. They are fitted by the child into the corresponding
places.
Fig. 34.
The child next arranged the discs in the notes cut out on the
staff, but there are no longer numbers written to help him find the
places. Instead, he must try to remember the place of the note on
the staff. If he is not sure he consults the numbered board (Fig.
33).
Fig. 35.
The child arranged on the staff the semitones in the spaces which
remain where the discs are far apart: do-re, re-mi, fah-soh,
soh-la, la-ti. The discs for the semitones have the
sharp on one side and the flat on the other, e.g., re♯-mi♭ are
written on the opposite sides of the same disc.
Fig. 36.
The children take a large number of discs and arrange them on the
staff, leaving uppermost the side which is blank, i.e., the side on
which the name of the note is not written. Then they verify their
work by turning the discs over and reading the name.
Fig. 37.
The double staff is formed by putting the two staves together. The
children arrange the notes in the form of a rhombus.

The two boards are then separated and the notes remain arranged
according to the treble and bass clefs. The corresponding key
signatures are then placed upon the two different staves.
