Fun with Note Naming

Students in grade 3 are beginning to practice reading/naming pitches on the treble clef staff. Here are some fun links to help with this at home:

We also use, "Ernie Gave Bert Dog Food," "Every Good Boy Does Fine," or "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge" to help us remember the names of the notes on the lines. 

Click here for an online Note Naming Game


Here is a parody of Taylor Swift's song, "I Knew You Were Trouble." It's been re-done to tell students about the treble clef staff. Enjoy!

Congratulations!

Congratulations to the cast & crew of "The Lion King KIDS" on your fabulous performances last week! We are so proud of you, and we hope that you enjoyed seeing your hard work come to life on stage. 

A HUGE "THANK YOU!" to all of the volunteers who helped to make the production run so smoothly - there's no way that this could have happened without your support!
