Music flashcard question

[Moxie]

My DD plays piano, DS plays guitar. I'd like to buy some music note flashcards but I see that there are "piano flashcards" and "guitar flashcards". I am not musical AT ALL. What is the difference??

What I suspect the difference is:

 

The first set of Piano flashcards will also include "key identifying" cards (identifying the specific key on the piano and giving it a name, i.e. CDEFGA) - other cards will be general beginning music notation. The piano uses two clefs, the guitar only one, so there will be an extra clef and an entire extra set of notes to identify in the piano flashcard set.

 

For the guitar flashcards, though I don't think I have any on hand, I suspect they will include instrument specific chord identification (identifying the chord based on a picture of which strings are depressed and where), etc. There may also be more specific instrumental notation to learn.

 

I'm a piano teacher who never quite had the pain tolerance to learn to play the guitar, so my assumptions about the guitar flashcards may be off, but you can ask your local music store. :)

Here is a website that has online flashcards for both guitar and piano. I have been wanting my kids to use the piano ones and I haven't gotten around to it. http://www.musicards.net/
