Inday sa Balitaw (lyrics & musical notes)

This my daughter's assignment. She is currently in primary 4 (grade 4). Their music teacher asked them to copy the music sheet of the song Inday sa Balitaw from the board and instructed them to transcribe the notes.

Sounds easy, right?

The thing is, the students were not taught on how to transcribe notes. Not yet as of the moment. There was a clue give though. The teacher told them that the first note is "so". And then ask them to follow-on from there.

My daughter almost cried as she does not know how to transcribe notes. She knows how to Google anyway. But she couldn't find what she wanted for her assignment. Lyrics were available all over the net, but not the transcription. Some more, most of the lyrics over the net got a missing line.

Luckily, i knew how to do musical transcription.

I learned this way before, during my Primary 6 (grade 6) years. That was long ago... :D

To cut the story short, here is the musical transcription of my daughter's assignment. Transcription below is solely based on what was copied in my daughter's notebook. I wasn't able to find a real sheet music on this song from the internet, so the notebook was my only choice.

So here it is:
