Sound to Symbol

Rather than learning about crotchets and quavers from day one, it is better to sing songs the children can readily relate to and from these discover the beats, divisions, and multiples that are the basis of musical notation. Crotchets, minims, etc. are “discovered” within the familiar songs and then introduced to the children. The same goes for pitch notation too.
