Reading Music!

Reading Music!
 
   
 
 
Here are a couple of links that take you to games to help you practice reading your letter names on the staff.  Remember treble cleff instruments (flute, clarinet sax, trumpet):
 
Lines are, from the bottom: Every- Good- Boy- Does- Fine     Spaces, from the bottom, spell F-A-C-E.
 
Bass Cleff (trombones) from the bottom: Good- Boys- Do- Fine- Always  Spaces, from the bottom, All Cows Eat Grass
 
 
 
 
Reading music can be a simple and fun way to make learning to play an instrument musch easier.  Most beginning students only need to know how to read a few musical letters, so why not get good at them so reading music becomes easy! (there are only 7 letters in the musical alphabet!!)
 
I GUARANTEE you that if you do these exercises a few times a week, for 3 weeks, you will be able to read music better than ever! It's a Guarantee!!
