Recorder

Focus: Notation

Notes: G, A, B, C', D'

Learning Goal: This task will introduce you to the basics of the staff: how to draw a treble clef, a time signature, bar-lines and double bar-lines. 

Minds On! Where does the clef sit on the staff? Where does the time signature go? Where do you draw bar-lines, and when do you need to draw a double bar-line?
