How to Read Music

Take note of music notes! Introduce fourth graders to the basics of reading music notes with this music tips worksheet.

Half of the worksheet shows and explains music notes for the treble clef. The other half of the page describes and illustrates music notes for the bass clef. Each note is displayed as a letter, and there are mnemonic devices to help students remember where each one falls on the staff.

This introductory resource helps budding musicians prepare to play their first instrument. Piano players can show off what they’ve learned by playing a common song using Chopsticks sheet music.
