Term 1 + 2 saw students learn:

  • the musical alphabet

  • how to find the notes on the keyboard

  • the note values

  • intervals (the distance between notes)

  • rhythm + body percussion

  • how to read pre-stave music using finger numbers and rhythm notes

  • playing by rote (using memory and aural skills)

  • ensemble playing

Term 3 will continue to develop these skills and we will dive into the stave! This will be done through games, and short confidence building songs.
