It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled
"High and Low" that is designed to teach children about pitch in music—specifically, whether musical notes are getting higher or lower in pitch. The worksheet includes a piano keyboard diagram and four boxes with sequences of musical notes (represented by dots on a staff) and corresponding pictures (like trees, stars, etc.).
Let's solve this step-by-step.

🔍 Understanding the Task
The instruction says:
> "Circle if the patterns are getting higher or getting lower."
So for each of the four boxes, we need to:
1. Look at the sequence of notes (dots on the staff).
2. Determine if the pitch is going
higher (ascending) or
lower (descending).
3. Circle the correct choice: “Getting higher” or “Getting lower.”

🎼 Key Concept: Pitch and the Staff
- In music notation,
higher notes appear
higher on the staff.
-
Lower notes appear
lower on the staff.
- The vertical position of the dot indicates the pitch.

✔ Let’s Analyze Each Box
####
Box 1: Star and Notes
- Notes: Three dots on the staff.
- Positions: First note is low, second is middle, third is high.
- Trend: Going up →
Higher
-
✔ Circle:
Getting higher
####
Box 2: Tree and Notes
- Notes: Three dots.
- Positions: First note is high, second is middle, third is low.
- Trend: Going down →
Lower
-
✔ Circle:
Getting lower
####
Box 3: Tree and Notes
- Notes: Three dots.
- Positions: First note is low, second is middle, third is high.
- Trend: Going up →
Higher
-
✔ Circle:
Getting higher
####
Box 4: Sun and Notes
- Notes: Three dots.
- Positions: First note is high, second is middle, third is low.
- Trend: Going down →
Lower
-
✔ Circle:
Getting lower

🖼️ Visual Aid: Piano Keyboard
On the left side, there’s a piano keyboard with:
- A
blue star above the top keys → labeled “High”
- A
blue fish below the bottom keys → labeled “Low”
This reinforces the idea that:
- Higher pitches = higher on the keyboard and staff
- Lower pitches = lower on the keyboard and staff

✔ Final Answer Summary
| Box | Image | Direction | Correct Choice |
|-----|-------|-----------|----------------|
| 1 | Star | Up | Getting higher |
| 2 | Tree | Down | Getting lower |
| 3 | Tree | Up | Getting higher |
| 4 | Sun | Down | Getting lower |

📝 Instructions for Student (if teaching)
Tell the student:
- Look at where the dots are placed on the staff.
- If they go
up, the pitch is getting
higher.
- If they go
down, the pitch is getting
lower.
- Use the piano as a guide: high notes are near the top, low notes near the bottom.
