Those of you who already know music, please read on. 

Name The Key

First take your child to the keyboard and name the keys starting from Middle C. 

You can go C, D, E, F, G, A, B 

Or you can also teach them C4 (middle C), D4, E4 and so and when you come to the next C call it C5. 

With this method remember to teach them that the B before C4 is B3 and so on. 

This actually is my favourite method (C4, D4 and so on) as in the long run it helps when teaching ledger line notes and up. 

Line And Space Notes

Next take a music sheet and teach them to identify line notes and space notes. 

I have included worksheets with this post, that you can use to have them practice what they learn.

Remember to grab them. 

Treble And Bass Clef

Now teach them to identify Treble Clef and Bass Clef. 

Teach them to write it and also tell them what Treble Clef signifies and what Bass Clef signifies. 

Treble Clef notes are played with the right hand and Bass Clef notes are played with the left hand. 

Treble Clef Notes

Now teach them the treble clef line notes and then the space notes. 

Bass Clef Notes

Yes, you guessed it. simply teach them the bass clef line notes and space notes. 

You are done. 

How frequently or how fast should you teach these to your kids? 

Well that would depend on the age and learning capability of each of your kids.
