Treble Rap

Idea posted October 28, 2005

My students love the idea of a rap. So, this year as I was working with my older students to learn the lines and spaces of the treble staff, I came up with this little song/rap to the tune of song Queen's "We Will Rock You." They loved it!

(lyrics/rap part)

There are five lines of the treble staff.

There are four spaces; no, not half.

Always start from the bottom part.

Now we will say the names by heart.

(Chorus)

E-G-B-D-F

Are the lines of the treble clef.

F-A-C-E Face!

Are the names of the treble spaces.

(lyrics/rap part)

Every Good Boy Does Fine,

This sentence helps remember the lines.

And the simple word called "Face,"

Helps remember the names of the spaces.

Repeat Chorus
