First Grade MusicFirst grade will continue to sing and start to learn how to read music on the treble clef staff. We learn who lives in Mr. Everybody's Musical Apartment during the second semester. This story helps us remember who live where and that is how we can to name the notes on the staff. Once we know the characters names as well as our own names we find the characters on Orff instruments and boomwhackers.
