The kids got to learn the two notes of ‘Do’ and ‘Sol’ on the staff and they also get to learn the solfege. It was interesting that learning the notes on the staff required three actions. The things would be seeing, hearing and memorizing. Kids got to see the notes that’s on either line or space. They will determine the notes according to which line or space. Then they will be introduced what it’s sounding. Once they get to know the notes, they will think about the pitch. Based on the two things, they would memorize them. Each kids would have different pace to absorb the teaching. I though their acquire ability might be related to agility. Depending on how fast they can connet the three actions, they will get it fast or slow. For some kids, the things would be easy to learn but for others, it would be a hard task that’s hard to get.
