1. THE FUN-KEY MUSIC GOLDEN RULES LEVELS 1 & 2
At Fun-Key Music we only have one Golden Rule: TO RESPECT OTHERS
What does this mean?
Ask students what this means to them, and to then come up with their own set of rules that the class will run by. This way they are setting the rules for their own class, and so should understand and abide by them better.
Our main aim is to have fun learning music, and we can only do that when
students abide by the Golden Rule.
If students don’t abide by the Golden Rule:
• they may be asked to have Time Out;
• they may be asked to sit out for the entire class;
• they may be asked to leave Fun-Key Music.
2. Humming with the Clock LEVELS 1 & 2
To do this exercise you need a watch with a second’s hand/counter on it.
Have your ‘Breathing Record’ handy.
Take a breath, and then hum a note for as long as possible without taking
another breath.
Write the number of seconds that you hold the note for on the ‘Breathing
Record’ in the ‘humming column’.
This exercise is NOT a competition between you and another person to
see who can hold their breaths the longest. It is so you can see an
improvement in your own breathing. This improvement in the number of
seconds you can hold a note for might only be small, but any improvement
is important.
Encourage students to do this at home as well as in class, and record their times regularly.

3. RECORD OF MY PERFORMANCES LEVELS 1 & 2
Date Venue Repertoire Comments
Students have a bigger grid in their workbooks – this is just a sample.
Encourage them to fill it in after any performances, but especially after the fun-key music concerts. Apart from being a record for them of performances, it helps everyone remember songs that have been performed (i.e. so no-one repeats them).

7. MUSICAL TERMS: Clefs LEVEL 1
Below is a picture of a keyboard with each key or note named.
Notes have the letter names A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, and are used over again up and

Each stave (or staff) has 5 lines and 4 spaces. Notes are written on the stave in order
alternately on each line or space.
The higher on the stave a note is written, the higher a note sounds; the lower on the
stave a note is written, the lower a note sounds.
The notes have been drawn on both the treble clef (above) and bass clef (below).
Now write in the names of the notes on the spaces provided below each clef in the
same order as the keyboard, using the keyboard to help you work out which note is
which.

8. MUSICAL TERMS: Counting Beats & Bars LEVEL 1
REVISION:
Time Signatures: Time signatures indicate the kind of recurring pattern of beats in a piece of music.
You will always see two numbers, one on top of the other.
The top number tells us the number of beats in each pattern or bar; the bottom
number tells us the kind of beat.
In the bars below, work out the time signature by adding up the value of all the notes
in each bar. This will tell you what the top number in the time signature should be.
Now write that number in on the stave.
Semibreve or Whole Note
Minim or Half Note
Crotchet or Quarter Note
Quaver or 8th Note
= 4 Beats
= ½ Beat
