 Music: Clef Notes

Two weeks ago in music we reviewed Tammy the Treble Clef and then met Billy the Bass Clef. We looked at how Tammy and Billy lie on the grand staff. We watched videos talking about the notes on both, and also practiced adding the notes ourselves. This past week we went over to Mrs. Deb's house and she played the piano for us. We were able to look at her sheet music and see Tammy and Billy in action. Then we came home, with all the neighborhood kids, and danced and sang to silly music.
