The Note G
All notes below B on the staff have their stems going up.
On a separate sheet of paper, copy the new G on the staff (as shown) and then draw the other G you have learned next to it. Be sure to draw the stem in the correct direction. Is the new note G on a space or line?

There are 5 beats on the recording to introduce this piece.
