### Lesson Structure

| Step Number | Step Title          | Length  | Details                                                    |
|-------------|---------------------|---------|----------------------------------------------------------|
| 1           | Introduction        | 5 mins  | Briefly explain the importance of music theory. Discuss what students already know about music notation. |
| 2           | Notes and Staff     | 10 mins | Introduce the staff and how musical notes are placed on it. Use visual aids and examples to illustrate. |
| 3           | Scales               | 5 mins  | Explain what scales are (major and minor). Demonstrate using an instrument if available, and ask students to follow along. |
| 4           | Rhythms             | 5 mins  | Introduce basic rhythmic notation. Use clapping or tapping to practice different rhythms as a class. |
