What you'll learn

  1. 1

    Imagine a staircase where each step goes UP or DOWN. That's what reading new music is like! 🎵

  2. 2

    Tap the notes to hear them — then sing them back! 🎤

  3. 3

    Let's read 3 notes together: C – D – E. That's up, up, up! 🎶

  4. 4

    Now try 4 notes: E – D – C – D. Can you sing them? 🎵

  5. 5

    If the first note is C (bottom line) and the next is E (one line higher), how many steps UP did you go? 🧐

  6. 6

    Read and sing this pattern: E – F – G – F – E. Tap each note as you go! 🎶

  7. 7

    What shape do the notes make if they go up then down? 🎵
