Staff Safari: Lines & Spaces

Happy Friday everyone!  I wanted to remind you about the Music Teacher Facebook Frenzy that starts today!!!  You can download over 20 FREE files from some amazing music teachers.  All you have to do is visit their Facebook page, "like" the page and then follow the links to the other pages.  It's that simple!!!

A while ago someone had asked me to make a lines and spaces file.  While I'm currently still working on it (and a "Lines and Spaces Are AWESOME! file too, to match the Treble Clef and Bass Clef versions), part of the file is what I have posted as my freebie on Facebook!

It's actually quite a big file, there is a teaching PDF and three interactive PowerPoints.  Here's some highlights.

The PDF teaches how many lines and spaces there are on the staff:

Teaches the hand staff:

Teaches the "Parts of the Note" (stem vs. note head):

Then it goes through and explains how to know if a note is a "line note" or a "space note" by the placement of the note head:

The three PowerPoints are interactive and include tally cards.  The goal is to "focus" in on a specific note so you can see an animal along the safari.  If you are correct, the animal is in focus, if you are not correct the animal is out of focus.

Again, to download this file (FREE through Sunday) go to my Facebook Page.

After Sunday it will be available in my Teachers Pay Teachers Store.  Speaking of, I will be having a 20% off sale, now through Monday.  I start spring break at the end of the day so let's celebrate! :)

Have a GREAT weekend everyone!
