Your Name ’s Adventures Through Sound

A Musical Approach to Learning Guitar, Book 2

By Dr. Klondike Steadman, Jesse Crites and The Faculty of Orpheus Academy of Music

A Note of How to Use this BookThis is not your ordinary method book. The songs in this workbook were meant to be learned,

sung, danced and mastered alongside an excellent, Kodaly-trained instructor. These worksheets

give active learning cues to the student and assist in the lesson process. However, these work-

sheets will make little sense if used outside the context of a Kodaly-based music lesson. We

hope that you enjoy using these worksheets and that you will help us grow this amazing curricu-

lum of discovery by sharing your favorite songs from around the world!

Introducing the Treble Clef

G

A Clef in music tells us EXACTLY which note to play on our instrument. On guitar we use the Treble Clef or “G” clef. It is called this because it comes from an old fashioned manner of writing “G”. Trace each clef for practice below:
