Instrumental Year 2 Notations - Mice, mice stick notation

In a Year 2 music lesson, children are introduced to the charming song "Mice, Mice," which is presented in stick notation to help them learn musical notes and rhythms. The song is broken down into simple, easy-to-follow lines, each with a sequence of notes represented by their corresponding letter names. The first line starts with a 'B' note, followed by a 'G' note, which is sung to the lyrics "Mice, mice." This pattern introduces the students to the pitch and rhythm required to perform the song correctly.

The subsequent lines of the song continue with a similar structure, using notes 'A', 'B', and 'G' to create a melody that the children can sing along to while learning the basics of musical notation. The lyrics "Eat - ing all the rice," and "Nib - ble nib - ble nib - ble nib - ble," are set to a combination of 'A', 'B', and 'G' notes, which are repeated in a way that reinforces the rhythm and pitch. The song concludes with the word "Nice" sung to a series of 'B' notes followed by a 'G', creating a pleasant and memorable ending. This educational resource offers a fun and interactive way for young learners to engage with music and develop their understanding of musical notation.
