Pitch / The Staff / Treble Clef

Now we learn to notate the highs and lows of sound.

Pitch tells you how High or Low a sound is.

 

Pitches are named by letters A through G.

How do we know which pitch (letter name) to play?

The Staff

 

Notes are written on a 5 – line staff.

The notes are placed on a line or a space.

The Treble Clef

The treble clef is also known as the G clef. It tells you that the second line from the bottom is the note G.

 

 

The staff is divided into Measures.

Measures are divided by Bar lines.

 

A Double Bar indicates the end of a song.
