Currently third graders are working on identifying line notes and space notes on the treble clef.  Students can go to the Student Interactives sign and search for “Staff Champion Treble Clef” and play the note ID game.

Fourth and Fifth graders are working on a blues unit, so they should go to The Metro and to Blues Street—there is a digital book with some good info on important blues musicians.

Also, feel free to go to the QCreatives and play around!

OR go to my favorite website and search for lessons and videos of blues artists. TeachRock.org
