LEARNING GOAL: Set up your staves using the necessary symbols and musical components to prepare for your recorder composition.

MINDS ON! Where does the clef sit on the staff? Where does the time signature go? Do you need to insert any flats or sharps so that your composition will be in the key of G?

ACTION!

• USE A PENCIL – you may need to move things around when you enter the notes.

• Draw a treble clef on both staves;

• Draw a 4/4 time signature on the first staff only;

• Create 8 empty bars of music;

• Remember to draw a double bar line at the end of the second staff;

• Do not add a title yet;

• Create 8 bars of playable rhythm - DO NOT ADD PITCHES YET.
