Introduction

Hello class! Today we're going to learn about how to read a music line and what each note means!

Today we'll be learning where it comes from and how to tell the difference between the treble and bass clef. 

Here is a couple pictures of each of the clefs!

Task

The treble clef is a clef that places G above middle C on the second line of the staff. The treble clef is the main clef that all musicians use except for the instruments: trombones, tubas, and the cello. 

The bass clef is a clef placing the F below middle C on the fourth line of the staff. The bass clef is a clef that the instruments listed above use the most. 

The task at hand: 

Find out the names of each of the notes for the treble and bass clef.

Write out your own song with each of the notes you make and write out the title as well. 

Write the notes of the clef of each clef is. 

Lastly, the students will do a Quizlet Live or Kahoot to remember each note and music genres.
