3rd Graders Learn Note Names!

The 3rd graders just finished a big note naming unit! We did a few weeks of learning what the music staff is and how to name notes on the treble staff. Then we did 2 weeks of note naming rotation stations. Students had a blast! Note naming is so valuable as students move on to the middle school and have ensemble opportunities like band and chorus. Some students told me learning the note names helped them to play instruments and read music they have at home! :-)

Here are some links to favorite note naming videos students saw:
