For a staff with a treble clef on it, here are where the pitches are assigned:
If a quarter note is placed on the third line of the staff, it’s pitch is B.
3) Make your musical dice. Go to page 21. Color and cut out your dice. After you’ve followed
the instructions on how to fold and glue it, you’re ready to play!
4) You have two dice, one that has notes/ rests with shorter note values (Dice # 1) and one that
has notes/ rests with longer note values (Dice # 2). Roll Dice # 1 and write your note(s)/ rest(s) on
measure 1 on the sheet of blank staves (more than one staff) provided on page 22.
The measures are marked below each appropriate section on the music staff. Remember that you must
also choose a pitch for each note. For each measure of music, there are three pitches from which to
choose. The available pitches are marked in parentheses [ ( ) ] after each measure number.
For example: In measure 1, pitches C, E or G may be used. Make sure you place your note on the
correct line or space on your staff.
Repeat step 4, three more times so that measure 1 is full. Your notes should equal 4 beats total.
See the example below:
5) Now, let’s roll Dice # 2. Make sure to keep track of how many beats total you have for
your next measure of music. Depending on what note or rest your dice lands on, you might only have
to roll this dice once- two times at the most. Choose your notes’ pitches, as well, and write them down
on your staff.
