How to Use This Pack

Five sheets of music staff paper, each with a Name and Date line at the top and no title, so the staves fill the page. Pages 1 and 2 have big staves, 12 points between the lines, for young children; page 2 starts each with a treble clef. Page 3 is song paper: a big staff with a treble clef and a line under it for the words. Page 4 is plain staff paper, and page 5 has grand staves, a treble clef over a bass clef joined by a brace, as piano music is written.

In the Classroom

Start young musicians on page 1: name the five lines, then put a note on a line and one in a space. Use page 3 to write a class song, the words on the line and a note above each word.

At Home

Write down a tune you know on page 2, a note for each word, then sing it back from the page.

• A note sits in a space when it fits between two lines
• On the treble staff the second line up is G, where the clef curls
