I grew up in rural Southwest Virginia in a little community called Emory. I have always loved music and making things. I am a retired elementary music teacher and currently enjoy teaching private music lessons, leading community singing and creating interactive music exhibits in my music garden. I hope to share these creations with the larger community.

notating a song in 9/8
Today's lesson takes you step by step through the procedure of notating a known song. The song is "Down in the Valley" and I will notate it in 9/8 time in the key of D on a bass clef. I suggest that you participate by writing the notation as I walk you through it. You'll need a pencil and a blank staff.
