Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (Minutes)	Details
1	Introduction to the Staff	5	Briefly explain what the staff is and its components (lines and spaces). Use a visual aid on the projector.
2	Treble Clef Introduction	10	Introduce the treble clef, label the note names on the staff, and demonstrate their positioning. Engage students by having them repeat the notes after you.
3	Bass Clef Introduction	10	Introduce the bass clef in the same manner as the treble clef. Discuss its use and importance in music. Use visual aids to show how notes differ between treble and bass clefs.
4	Interactive Activity	5	Distribute activity sheets where students will practice identifying notes on a printed staff. Move around the classroom to provide assistance.
5	Homework Assignment Explanation	5	Assign a worksheet where students will draw their 5-line staff and label the notes. Remind them that they should work on this independently and it will be collected without presentations.

Homework

Complete the worksheet where students will draw a 5-line staff and label the notes. Collect the completed worksheets in the next lesson for feedback.

Assessment

Monitor student participation during the lesson.
Review homework to assess understanding and correctness of note placement on the staff.

Differentiation

Provide additional support and modified worksheets for students who may struggle.
Offer extension activities for advanced students, such as composing a simple melody using the notes learned.

Additional Notes

Encourage students to practice reading notes outside of class by playing simple pieces on their instruments or using music apps to reinforce learning.
