1-5 Grade Music Letter A for Accordion Lesson by Mrs. Carol Louise Moore

Before we learn about the music letter "A",

let us review the Music Joke for this week

about the Police Officer who tried to arrest you.

By clicking here.

Remember there are only 7 letters in the Music Alphabet,

and those letters are:

A, B, C, D, E, F, G

There are no letters after G. 

In other words, there is no H, I, J, K, L, M...and so on.

Now hold up one hand 

The number of lines in music is 

how many fingers you have on one hand.

Count the fingers on one hand.

How many fingers did you count?

The number of spaces in music is 

how many spaces there are in between the fingers.

Now count the spaces between your fingers.

How many spaces are in between the fingers?

So...

How many lines are there in music?

How many spaces are there in music?

Did you know that the lines and spaces

you see in music are called the "STAFF"?

What is the name of the music symbol below?

Treble Clef

Treble Clef notes are your high sounding notes.
The note below on the "STAFF" after the Treble Clef
 is the letter "A"

The note "A" lands on a space and would be called a

space note. 

To understand the letter names 

to the notes on the spaces

after the Treble Clef on the Staff:

Just remember "FACE" is on the SPACE

         F in FACE is on the bottom 1st space

A in FACE is on the 2nd space

C in FACE is on the 3rd space

E in FACE is on the 4th space

What space is the letter "A" on?

In American Sign Language,

the letter "A" looks like this.

The instrument of the day from the letter "A" 

 is called an ACCORDION

Here is a video giving a

basic introduction to playing the Accordion.

Here is an example of 

an 8 year old boy playing the Accordion

Another Example of 3 kids performing with the accordion.

 

I just had to share this next video of a very talented little girl 

playing the accordion.
