GENERAL MUSIC
01. THEORY: NOTE READING BY STEP-WISE MOTION
.......a.  IDENTIFYING NOTE NAMES USING STEPS and SKIPS
.......b.  IDENTIFYING HOW MANY LINES and SPACES THERE ARE IN BETWEEN THE NOTES THAT             MOVE BY SKIP
02. JOLLY OLD ST NICK RECORDER SONG TO BE PLAYED ON THE KEYBOARD
.......a.  TREBLE CLEF ("G" CLEF) SYMBOL REVIEW (NOTES ON LINE 2 OF THE STAFF ARE                       NAMED "G")
.......b.  KNOWING THAT LINE 2 OF THE STAFF IS "G" STUDENTS IDENTIFY and WRITE DOWN                   THE NAMES OF ALL THE OTHER NOTES OF THE SONG
.......c.  DEMONSTRATION OF WHERE THE NOTES FOR THIS SONG ARE LOCATED ON THE                         KEYBOARD
............1)  FINDING MIDDLE "D" FIRST (THE WHITE KEY IN BETWEEN BLACK KEYS IN PAIRS OF                  TWO)
............2)  USING THE MUSICAL ALPHABET FORWARD TO FIND THE FIRST NOTE OF THE SONG                    "B"
............3)  USING THE STEPS and SKIPS IN THE MUSIC NOTATION TO DETERMINE WHICH NOTES                  MOVE BY 
..................a)  WHEN NOTES SKIP IN MUSIC NOTATION THE SIZE OF THE SKIP or INTERVAL (THE                        AMOUNT OF  LINES/SPACES IN BETWEEN THE NOTES) HELPS TO DETERMINE                                HOW MANY  KEYS WILL BE SKIPPED ON THE KEYBOARD (EXAMPLE: WHEN                                  READING NOTES "B" TO "G" THERE IS A SKIP  
                       OF ONE SPACE IN BETWEEN THE LINES THE NOTES FALL ON; THAT ONE SKIP                              THAT ONE WHITE KEY WILL BE SKIPPED ON THE KEYBOARD WHEN PLAYING                              THOSE NOTES)
..................b)   STUDENTS TO TAKE WRITTEN MUSIC WITH THE NOTE NAMES THEY JUST                                     WROTE IN TO THE KEYBOARD TO LEARN TO PLAY
THIS LESSON TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK
