I have trouble writing out the second and third order of literacy for each song
Basically I have trouble grasping musical notation.
I have an example of how this should be done here:

Could you help me out and post kiddie songs like 'Old McDonald had a farm', 'Bah bah Black Sheep' etc and post their order of literacy that would be grat. And explain it thanks. Would be greatly appreciated.
It would appear that you need the sheet music to see the quarter, eighth, half, whole notes, etc. Then follow the sample you have. You would not be asked to do this unless you practiced in class.

Thank you.
Sure! I can help you understand the second and third order of literacy for songs like "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" and "Baa Baa Black Sheep" using musical notation.
To begin, let's explain what the second and third order of literacy mean in the context of music notation.
The second order of literacy refers to being able to read and understand the individual elements of musical notation, such as notes, duration, and pitch. This includes understanding the different types of notes (quarter notes, half notes, etc.), rests, time signatures, key signatures, and other symbols commonly used in sheet music.
The third order of literacy involves being able to interpret and apply these individual elements to perform or play the music accurately. This includes understanding how to read rhythm, dynamics (volume and expression), phrasing, and other musical instructions written in the notation.
Now, let's take a look at the songs "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" and "Baa Baa Black Sheep" and their second and third order of literacy.
1. Old MacDonald Had a Farm:
Here is an example of how the first few lines of the song would be notated:
(c = quarter note, d = half note, e = eighth note)
Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
c c c d e e c c c d e e c c c d e e
And on that farm, he had a cow, E-I-E-I-O
c c c d e e e d d d c c d d c c c d
In terms of the second order of literacy, you should be able to recognize the different types of notes (quarter notes, half notes, and eighth notes) and understand their durations. The notes are played at specific times, represented by the notation.
In terms of the third order of literacy, you should be able to perform the song by following the rhythm and pitch indicated by the notation. This includes understanding how long each note should be held and how they are grouped together to form phrases.
2. Baa Baa Black Sheep:
Here is an example of how the first few lines of the song would be notated:
Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool?
f e d e f f f e d d d e e f g g
Yes, sir, yes, sir, three bags full
d d d f f f e d d e e f d e
In terms of the second order of literacy, similar to the previous example, you should be able to recognize the different types of notes (quarter notes, half notes, and eighth notes) and understand their durations.
In terms of the third order of literacy, you should be able to perform the song by following the rhythm and pitch indicated by the notation. This includes understanding how long each note should be held and how they are grouped together to form phrases.
Remember, practice is key in developing your musical literacy. By regularly practicing reading and playing different songs, you will become more comfortable with musical notation and improve your understanding of the second and third order of literacy in music.
