TREBLE STAFF THEORY WORKSHEETS - 3 ACTIVITIES
- Treble Staff Theory Worksheets - UMT Activity #1 – Strengthening Fine Motor Skills: Drawing the Treble Staff
The Treble Clef is also called the “G Clef”. Line 2 is the “G” line in the Treble Staff. The lines used to draw the Treble Clef cross line 2, the “G” line, four times. This creates a landmark for the note “G” in the Treble Staff.
Use the Treble Staff Theory Worksheets and learn how to draw a Treble Clef by following these 4 Steps:
Step 1: Begin above the staff and draw the letter “J” through the staff, ending in the space below the staff. This is the center line.
Step 2: Start at the top of the line and draw a “P” to line 4.
Step 3: Draw a “d” from line 4 (semi-circle to the left) all the way to line 1.
Step 4: Continue to circle up to line 3 and curl around, finishing on line 2.
UMT Tip: The Treble Clef is Tall and on the Top of the Grand Staff - the 3 “Ts”.
- Treble Staff Theory Worksheets - UMT Activity #2 – Game: Name That Line. A fun way to quickly review line notes.
Whether you teach using mnemonics (like the one in the example below) or whether you teach using the Skipping Pattern of Line Notes, use the Treble Staff Theory Worksheets to play the game “Name that Line”.
Students will build note and pattern recognition skills, all while having fun!
To play “Name That Line”:
Step 1: Draw different line notes on the Treble Staff Theory Worksheets.
Step 2: Set the Timer for 2 minutes. Ready, Set, GO! How many notes can the student name?
Step 3: To check, take the Treble Staff Theory Worksheets to the piano and play the notes at the correct pitch.
UMT Tip: For students who need to build confidence in note recognition, use the first Treble Staff to write the notes and identify their placement on the staff. The student can refer to the example in order to reinforce their understanding of the line notes.
Remember, you can also play “Name That Space” using the Treble Staff Theory Worksheets and space notes!
- Treble Staff Theory Worksheets - UMT Activity #3 – Ear Training: Same, Step or Skip. Train the ear and it's trained for life.
Use the Treble Staff Theory Worksheets to play Ear Training games that will support the development of a strong foundation in Ear Training & have fun.
To play “Same, Step or Skip”:
Step 1: Divide each staff into 4 measures. Use your UMT Ruler.
Step 2: The student or teacher can write a different note at the beginning of each measure – line or space.
Step 3: The teacher plays the given note in the measure and then plays a note that is the same note, a step up, a step down, a skip up or a skip down.
The student writes the note directly on the staff. Remember – the student should not be looking at the keyboard as the teacher plays the intervals!
UMT Tip: This game can also be played using intervals of a 1st, 2nd up, 2nd down, 3rd up or 3rd down. To add the Sight Reading element, and for more fun, when the game is finished, the student can:
- Write the letter name under each note on their Treble Staff Theory Worksheets.
- Take the Treble Staff Theory Worksheets to the piano and play the notes at the correct pitch.
The FREE Music Theory Worksheets can be used to support students of all Learning Styles and in all levels of the Ultimate Music Theory Workbook Series.
