Students will be taught what a musical staff is, and we will have a discussion about why we use different clefs. Students will get to interact with each other and me in the discussions. They will get the chance to draw a grand staff with treble and bass clefs by following along to some short slide tutorials. Then they will learn the theory for how to identify notes on the staff using the musical alphabet. We will then reinforce our note reading skills with several note reading games. This course is for students with little to no note reading and/or musical study.
Learning Goals
Students will learn to draw treble and bass clef symbols, and read letter names of notes on the grand staff.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Georgia Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
Hi, my name is Ms. Caitlin. I have been teaching private music lessons since 2011. My primary instrument is the violin, but I also play the piano and other string instruments. I have a Master of Music with a major in violin performance from Memorial University of Newfoundland. I also hold a Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Music Education from Stetson University, and I have an active teaching license in Florida for K-12 Music. While the violin is my primary instrument, I also teach string orchestra and piano. Growing up, I was classically trained, but I also play other genres including fiddle, contemporary, and worship, all in addition to playing in my regional symphony orchestra.
I believe that music is for everyone, and my role as a teacher is to help guide the student towards their own goals and successes. I am open to hearing a student's personal interests and questions to guide our learning process.
When I am not playing music, I enjoy hiking, rock climbing, and crafting. While I have recently lived in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, I now live in Connecticut and teach in a classroom full-time.
*** Please be patient when it comes to messages. As I teach a full-time job in addition to Outschool, I will not be able to reply instantly.***
If you don’t see a section of a class at a time that works for you, please send me a schedule request. If you are interested in one of my classes listed outside of your learner’s age bracket, message me about the possibility of creating a class at a suitable age. That said, the youngest I am comfortable teaching online violin is age 7, and the youngest online piano students that I will teach is age 5.
