The Great Beyond

Students will learn to identify and play notes that extend above and below the standard five-line staff using ledger lines. The session focuses on the logical extension of the musical alphabet into "The Great Beyond."

Key Code Breakers

Mastering the "code" of sharps and flats at the beginning of the staff. Students learn to apply key signatures to every note in a phrase and recognize common band keys like Bb and Eb.

Pulse Patterns

Exploring the difference between 4/4, 3/4, and 2/4 time signatures. Students will practice feeling the strong beats and identifying how measures are divided in different meters.
