There are loads of tricks you can use to help kids remember where notes of different pitches sit on a staff. There are two kinds of staffs: bass and treble The names of the notes on the treble clef are A, B, C, D, E, F and G. You can figure out where they belong on the staff using a handy mnemonic: Every good boy deserves fruit. To remember which letters match up to the spaces, remember FACE. Once you’ve labelled the lines and spaces, you will be able to identify what each note is, depending on where it sits. With the bass clef lines, you can label them in the same kind of way, but with different notes. Good bikes don’t fall apart and all cows eat grass. We also have flashcards to help students recognise where different notes are on the piano and the staff, so take a look if you’re interested. The treble clef is used by instruments that have higher registers, like the flute, trumpet and violin, and the bass clef is for instruments that have lower registers, like the cello, trombone and bassoon. Speaking of instruments, Twinkl has a great range of flashcards to help students identify the different kinds, even looking at verbs people use to describe playing them. There are options with images, names and a mixture of both. A fun game you can play with your class is to play recordings of different instruments and challenge them to match the sound with an instrument. To make this a bit harder, try playing a song and asking students to write down the names of any instruments they hear. There are also plenty of flashcards and posters that can take you through the different kinds of musical notes. These can help students understand how many beats notes last for and give them the skills to read music and understand rhythm. An activity you can play when teaching kids about rhythm, is to give them a sequence of notes and challenge them to clap along. For example, Here we have some quarter notes and some pairs of eighth notes. You can also assign sounds to the types of notes to help make the rhythm easier to understand. I hope you have fun diving into the wonderful world of music in your classroom.
