Music Joke for the Day: 

To Help Chase the BLUES away

Get it? 

This music joke is talking about

the high C's in music.

So, instead of saying the word "SEA"

We replace the "SEA" with the music letter "C".

The Treble Clef "C" scale looks like this

We start with the low "C" that looks like this

and then we end on the high "C"

The joke is also implying that Pirates are good singers

because they can sing the High "C's"  in music.

They started from the low "C"  clear up to the high "C" .

FURTHERMORE:

Whenever you see 8 notes in music that go from 

one letter and end with that same letter,

we call that an "OCTAVE".

The octave you see above is called the "C" scale

because it starts on a "C"  and ends on a "C" .

How many letters are there 

in the musical alphabet?

The letter "C"  also sounds like the word "SEA".

When you have words that sound alike 

but are spelled differently, 

We call them a "HOMONYM"

GO OVER TREBLE AND BASS CLEFF NOTES ON PIANO

BEING A SOLDIER WAS LIKE

Just remember "FACE" is on the SPACE

         F in FACE is on the bottom 1st space

The following video is about how...

Just for fun,

let us now watch the original song called

I KNEW YOU WERE TROUBLE

by Taylor Swift

See if you can Sing Along

In the next video,

the CHIPMUNKS are... 

singing this song.

However, 

if you want to watch the full video, 

you can find this in your 

School Canvas Music Lesson by me,

CMoorekidsongs Blog by me.

So, 

who is talking to the

TREBLE CLEF? 

What is the name of...

this guy, right here?

That's right,

it is the

BASS CLEF

Any notes after the BASS CLEF

are your LOW notes.

The SPACE and LINE notes

after the BASS CLEF

look different 

from the notes

after the TREBLE CLEF

Let us now listen to a song

that is...

ALL ABOUT THAT BASS

Just for fun,
