Description

Class Experience

Whether you sing, play an instrument, or just love music, learning to read opens up a whole new world! 

In this 45 minute class for ages 6-9, students will learn the basics of reading music including:
- identifying the treble and bass clefs
- new vocabulary: staff, time signature, key signature, bar lines
- identifying pitches in treble clef

Activities include writing poems to help remember the names of the lines and spaces as well as creating a deck of flash cards to use for at-home...

By the end of this class, students will have the knowledge and tools required to continue developing their music reading skills. They will be able to identify the parts of the music staff and locate pitches on the staff in the treble clef.

Supplies needed:
3 sheets of paper (8x11 is best so the flashcards are a good size but any size will work!)
a ruler
scissors
a pencil and eraser
optional: colouring tools (markers, crayons, pencil crayons etc.)

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

This class requires the use of scissors to cut paper into flash cards.

Please assist or supervise your child as needed. Thank you!
