2017, Term 2, Week 8: FACE the Music

How many music symbols can you find and name?

Introducing  a new music symbol this week: the minim rest. H It looks a bit like a small rectangle,  and when it sits on top of the line, it means a rest for two beats. Add bar lines below to make bars of 4 beats each. (Scroll down to end of post for the completed version.) 

Can you locate these notes on the keyboards above and below? 

Clapping and reading practice. Can you keep up? 

By the way, in New Zealand English, this would read "I don't want to practise!" We spell practise with an s when it is a verb . . . . couldn't help take the opportunity to point this out.
