Mini-Keyboards

Last night, I introduced our 3rd graders to the treble staff. We began our class time by counting the rhythms to the song, "God Is So Good." The kids then sang the song again as they pointed to the notes on the staff. I then gave each child a mini-keyboard with the keys marked with the note names. Within minutes, they were making music. It was awesome to see their faces shine as a reflection of their accomplishment. They were discovering what it meant to be real musicians. Priceless.
