Needing something different and with a bit of challenge for my older beginner students I decided to make a music puzzle. Their first puzzle is a simple song cut into measures. The directions remind them of what to look for in music:
- Grand staff at the beginning of a line
- Double bar line at the end of the song
- Looking for the key signature
- Starting and ending with a tonic note
- Look for ties or follow slurs
The envelope that holds the puzzle pieces has the level, song, and book listed in the return address (a.k.a the answer). The "address line" lists their goal and prompts. This Level 1A puzzle includes the song lyrics, but I recommended they try to figure out the song without reading them first. The next puzzle I create for them will not have the lyrics showing.
