Music Theory Assignment 1

Due Friday, April 3

Read the two information pages and then do the two pages labeled "Treble Clef and Bass Clef." This is literally the very beginning of Music Theory 101. For those of you who have never taken any formal music, this is the perfect place to start. For those of you who have taken violin or piano lessons, this will be an easy refresher.

I will fill in some basic info not on these pages. All formal music is written on the musical staff, 5 lines and 4 spaces. Typically, there are two staffs written together. The top one will have the treble clef on it, usually showing higher notes in the song played by the right hand on the piano and sung by the higher voices in the choir, Soprano and Alto (female). The lower staff will have the bass clef on it, and the notes are played by the left hand on the piano and sung by the lower voices in the choir, Tenor and Bass (male).

I uploaded the two worksheets onto Google Classroom so you could print them from there. If you have trouble printing the pages, let me know. I know music is a little different from some of the other classes where most assignments can be done in Google Classroom. I know some of the younger kids in lower grades are doing their work, taking photos of it and emailing it to the teacher...whatever works. If you just can't figure it out let me know and we'll find a way.
