Instrumental Year 6 Stave Notation Sheets - Rocky mountain stave notation note names

The 'Rocky Mountain' stave notation sheets for Year 6 provide a structured way for students to learn and practice the song "Rocky Mountain" using musical notes. The sheet breaks down the lyrics of the song with corresponding note names, allowing children to identify and play the melody on an instrument. The notation starts with the word "Rock" set to a pair of C notes, followed by "y moun" on a single C note, and "tain" on an E note. This pattern is repeated with slight variations in the lyrics but maintains a consistent rhythmic pattern, which helps students to grasp the tune's structure.

The melody continues with the words "When you're on that rocky mountain," where the notes ascend from A to G, then descend to E, followed by a climb back up to C. This sequence is designed to teach students about the movement of pitch within a melody. The song then introduces an emotional shift with the lyrics "hang your head and cry," accompanied by a descending sequence from E to D, and then to C, emphasizing a sombre mood. The phrase "Do, do, do, do, do remember me" is set to a sequence of notes starting from C and rising to A, then falling back to E, and finally descending to D and C, giving students the opportunity to practice a range of pitches. The stave notation is clearly marked with the note names, making it accessible for children to learn music reading and instrumental skills.
