We’re ready to take another big step...
Are you ready?
So far, we’ve been using our Soundbops notation to play songs. Now we’re ready to move on to the next stage: using and learning the sheet music that musicians use to write and
read music. And to play some great new songs!

Treble Clef
Can you play the notes on the treble clef?
Musicians use sheet music to learn how to play songs and to write their own. The treble clef is a part of sheet music. We move the notes onto the treble clef as seen below. Each note has a position. The notes increase in pitch from low to high as
they go up the treble clef.

Now we’re ready for some songs!
