One of my young pupils (aged 5) has developed a habit in the last few weeks of naming notes wrongly. When we use flashcards and i hold up middle C for example and ask her what note it is, she'll say D, E, F, G. She knows the names of the notes as we've spent time on them. The strange thing is though, that she will give me every other note name except for the correct one, so i'm sure she's aware what the correct answer is but for some reason gives me the wrong one. Same thing happens when i point to notes in tunes. I'm unsure why she's doing this and also what to do about it! I'd appreciate suggestions please! Thanks.
