Learn the musical staff - Learning Activities | GreatSchools
Name that note
Introduce your child to music literacy by teaching him to recognize and draw the pitches on the lines and spaces of the treble staff.
What you'll need
- One plastic plate
- Any color roll of electrical tape
- One dry-erase marker
- Tissue to use as an eraser
How to do it
Prepare the plastic plate by cutting pieces of the electrical tape length-wise and sticking them on the plate so that they look like a musical staff. You should end up with five, thin horizontal pieces of tape, spaced an equal distance apart. The staff is generally made up of five lines and four spaces. Notes are placed on these lines and spaces to indicate pitch and rhythm.
Have your child draw notes (plain, open circles work best) on the lines and spaces of the staff using a dry-erase marker. To correctly identify the notes, he will need to remember that the line notes are E, G, B, D, and F from the bottom of the staff to the top (use the mnemonic "every good boy does fine") and the space notes are F, A, C, and E from bottom to top (which spells "face"). In this activity, you'll be focusing on pitch, so just have your child draw open circles.
Begin by drawing only the line notes (drawn so that the appropriate line is through the center of the circle), then do the space notes (circles are in the spaces, between the lines). Once he can draw line and space notes separately, mix them up! Be careful, because the pitches E and F are both line and space notes. Call out a note name and see how fast he can draw the note.

http://www.greatschools.org/students/academic-skills/first-grade-music.gs?content=252
In Your Child's Classroom
Exploring musicIn first grade your child develops her singing voice and rhythmic skills. She plays instruments and moves to the beat. Through these activities she learns the artistic, cultural, scientific and mathematical foundations of music.
Music may not be taught as a separate subject in some schools, but most states require that it be included in the curriculum. Most states have music standards that are based on the National Standards for Arts Education.
Singing
First-graders sing songs with repetitive words and melody patterns, such as nursery rhymes and folk songs. Many songs will be connected to the holidays. Others reinforce what your first-grader is learning in class, such as songs about neighborhoods, money or shapes. Typical songs include "Down by the Bay," "Jim Along Josie" and "She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain." Your child learns to blend his voice with others by singing in a group and develops his own voice by singing alone.
"First-graders love to sing alone and will jump at the chance to use expressive voices to dramatize a story," Bakeman says.
Your child learns to sing expressively, on pitch (high and low) and with correct dynamics (loud and soft). He sings an increasing number of songs from memory and with improved accuracy. The class plays singing games that combine music and movement.
Playing and listening to instruments
First-graders play musical instruments, such as drums and xylophones, individually and in a group. Your child works with rhythm to find a steady beat. He will be able to maintain a steady beat as he plays instruments alone and in a group.
"First-graders are able to make connections between math and playing simple rhythms on instruments that sound on the steady beat and sound on subdivisions of the beat. Quarter-notes are the steady beat - one sound per beat - and eighth-notes are twice as fast - two sounds in the space of one beat," Bakeman says.
Moving to music
Your child skips, hops, marches, claps, tiptoes and steps to the beat. She makes creative movements to music, showing her understanding of rhythm, beat and the feeling of the music. She may make up hand movements to go along with songs.
Learning the vocabulary
First-graders begin to learn and use the vocabulary of music, such as tempo, melody, echo, solo and beat. They also learn to understand how music communicates feelings. Your child can use words such as happy, sad, excited or scary to describe the emotions portrayed in music.
Learning notes
In a rich music program, first-graders develop recognition of musical notation. They learn to read and write simple rhythm patterns.
What to Look for When You Visit
- Musical instruments, such as drums, cymbals, triangles and rhythm sticks
- Sound recordings from a wide variety of cultures, styles and eras
- Music-related books
- Puppets or other props used for singing or movement games
Your Second-Grader and Music - Academic Skills | GreatSchools
In Your Child's Classroom
Exploring music
Second-graders work on developing their understanding of pitch, melody and rhythm by singing, playing instruments and exploring creative movement. You can also expect your child to learn about famous musicians and the instruments that make up an orchestra. Through these activities she develops her understanding of the artistic, cultural, scientific and mathematical foundations of music.
"Recent research done at the University of California, Irvine, indicates that young children involved in consistent music instruction have a greater ability to grasp concepts that are also essential to the understanding of math and science." — Paul Bakeman
Research has shown that the benefits of music education include improved reading and reasoning ability, self-esteem and vocational preparation. Paul Bakeman, our teacher consultant and award-winning music teacher, adds: "Recent research done at the University of California, Irvine, indicates that young children involved in consistent music instruction have a greater ability to grasp concepts that are also essential to the understanding of math and science."
Music may not be taught as a separate subject in some schools, but most states require that it be included in the curriculum in some fashion. Most states have music standards that are based on the National Standards for Arts Education.
Singing
Second-graders typically sing traditional and folk songs. Many songs will be connected to holidays or themes that your child is learning in class. Typical songs include "Liza Jane," "I've Been Working on the Railroad" and "Tideo." Your child sings alone and in a group, learning to blend his voice with others and sing in rounds. He sings expressively, on pitch (high and low) and with correct dynamics (loud and soft). He sings an increasing number of songs from memory and with improved accuracy. He may create songs based on a poem or nursery rhyme.
Playing and listening to instruments
Second-graders can begin to play the rhythm of the words in a song. You can also expect your child to work with rhythm to find the steady beat. He will be able to maintain the beat while playing instruments alone and in a group. Paul Bakeman explains: "Second-graders can more effectively play instruments like drums and xylophones that often require crossing the midline (reaching from one side of the body to the other). This involves playing with two hands and alternating back and forth."
Your child learns the characteristics of the musical instrument families: string, woodwind, brass, percussion and keyboard. He listens to the instruments, plays them and learns how they work together in an orchestra.
Moving to music
Your child gets many opportunities to move to music. She may invent hand and body movements to accompany songs, showing her understanding of rhythm and the mood of the music.
Learning the vocabulary
Second-graders use the vocabulary of music, learning terms such as tempo, melody, echo, solo, beat, form and dynamics. They also learn to understand how music communicates feelings. Your child will use words such as happy, sad, excited or scary to describe the emotions portrayed in music.
Learning notes
You can expect your child to learn to read and write simple rhythm patterns. "Second-graders can also begin to notate simple melodies," Bakeman explains. "For example, songs with a limited number of pitches (two or three works best) can be notated on a two- or three-line staff, showing high, middle and low pitches."
Studying famous musicians
In a rich music program, students are exposed to music of various styles, eras, genres and cultures. They learn about famous musicians of the past, such as Frédéric Chopin and Ludwig van Beethoven, as well as contemporary musicians and those from various cultures.
What to Look for When You Visit
- Musical instruments, such as drums, cymbals, triangles and rhythm sticks
- Sound recordings from a wide variety of cultures, styles and eras
- Music-related books
- Puppets or other props used for singing or movement games
Learn a Brand-New Rhythm Language - Creative play | GreatSchools
Learn the language of rhythm
Teaching elementary-school-age children the basics of rhythm is easy with visual cues — and a bit of patience.
What you'll need
- 12 Popsicle sticks (or 24 if both parent and child want to make rhythms at the same time)
- Four (or eight) pipe cleaners of any color
How to do it
You will be making three different kinds of notes. Lay the Popsicle sticks and pipe cleaners out on the table.
Popsicle sticks that are laid down vertically represent quarter notes. Quarter notes get one beat, and their rhythm language word is "ta." Lay down two sticks and put another one across the top to make two-eighth notes. Two-eighth notes sound twice as fast and are spoken as "ti-ti." Bend the pipe cleaners to resemble quarter rests. Quarter rests get one beat of silence.
You're now ready to make some interesting combinations. Limit the number of beats in each rhythm to four. Remember that since two-eighth notes go twice as fast as quarter notes, "ti-ti" gets only one beat. An example of a rhythm you might create is "ta rest ti-ti ta." This is a great way to learn about music — and pick up a brand-new language in the process!
Learn musical pitch - Learning Activities | GreatSchools
Drink it in
With this fun and simple activity, your child can practice playing a familiar tune and might even create her own song.
What you'll need
- Three water glasses of the same size
- A metal or wooden spoon
- Three types of food coloring and three magic markers to match
- A blank sheet of paper
How to do it
Fill the glasses with different levels of water and tap on them with a spoon. Help your child to discover what happens when water is added or taken away. She should realize that when water is added the pitch goes up, and when water is taken away the pitch goes down.
Using trial and error, find the water levels that produce notes to simple three-note songs like "Hot Cross Buns" or "Merrily We Roll Along (Mary Had a Little Lamb)." Once you've found the notes, color the water with food coloring using three different colors, one for each glass.
Now your child can be a composer. Help her create her own songs by writing down a series of dashes on a piece of paper, using three magic markers whose colors match the colors in the glasses. After some practice, gather the family and have a water glass xylophone concert!

You can expect your child to learn about famous musicians and the instruments in an orchestra. Through these activities, she develops her understanding of the artistic, cultural, scientific and mathematical foundations of music.
"Third-graders love to participate in folk and traditional dances. It is often interesting to watch these students practicing their socialization skills as they attempt these dances that usually involve pairing up with someone else." — Paul Bakeman
Research has shown that the benefits of music education include improved reading and reasoning ability, self-esteem and vocational preparation.

Singing
Your third-grader is likely to sing traditional and folk songs. Many songs will be connected to the holidays. Others will reinforce what your child is learning in class. Typical songs include "America the Beautiful," "Yankee Doodle" and "Rocky Mountain." Your child sings alone and with a group, blending his voice with others and singing in rounds. He sings expressively, on pitch (high and low) and with correct dynamics (loud and soft). He sings an increasing number of songs from memory and with improved accuracy. He may create songs based on a poem or nursery rhyme.
Playing and listening to instruments
Third-graders play musical instruments. They can begin a simple melody instrument such as the harmonica. Some, but not all, are ready for the recorder.
They can play more complex melodies on xylophones, individually and in a group. You can expect your child to work with rhythm to find a steady beat. He will be able to maintain a steady beat as he plays an instrument alone and in a group. He can improvise short melodies on a xylophone to the rhythm of poems or chants, given a set of pitches to work with.
You can expect your child to learn the characteristics of the musical instrument families: string, woodwind, brass, percussion and keyboard. He listens to the instruments and learns how they work together in an orchestra.

Your child will use words such as happy, sad, excited or scary to describe the emotions portrayed in music.
Learning notes
Third-grade students are able to develop recognition of musical notation. They begin to read music from the treble clef staff, identifying and writing individual pitches. "Third-graders also practice drawing the treble clef symbol, staff and other musical symbols," Bakeman adds. "They can identify these symbols and explain their purpose and usage."
Studying famous musicians
Students should be exposed to music of various styles, eras, genres and cultures. They learn about famous musicians of the past, such as Frédéric Chopin and Ludwig van Beethoven, as well as contemporary musicians and those from various cultures. They learn that being a musician or composer can be a career choice.
What to Look for When You Visit
- Musical instruments, such as recorders, harmonicas, drums, cymbals, triangles and rhythm sticks
- Sound recordings from a wide variety of cultures, styles and eras
- Music-related books
- Puppets or other props used for singing or movement games
Let Music Be Their Muse - Learning Activities | GreatSchools
Here's How To Do It
Lay out the paper and markers, crayons or colored pencils, and play music that evokes a particular emotion. Soundtracks are great for this, and you can usually find compilation CDs of music from various soundtracks. While your child listens, have him draw a picture that illustrates how the music makes him feel. You'll be surprised at how perceptive he can be!
Avoid music with lyrics, as they tend to oversimplify the emotional tone of a song. Just let the music guide them in their drawings. Try to find a good assortment of music that sparks different emotions so that your child can draw several pictures and illustrate the various moods she hears. After she finishes her artwork, talk about what the composer of the music had in mind, and see if your child picks up on the emotions that were intended.
