Stems on notes above the middle line trail down from the left of the note. Notes are centered on the lines or in the spaces between the lines. Depending on the clef (discussed below), the position of each note on the staff corresponds to a letter name. Notes are represented by little ovals on the staff. The lower on the staff, the lower the pitch of the note. Each line and space on the staff represents a different pitch. After G, the cycle repeats going back to A. The musical alphabet is, in ascending order by pitch, A, B, C, D, E, F and G. Notesĭifferent pitches are named by letters. The first measure would be measure one, the second measure two and so on. Measures are sometimes marked with numbers to make navigating a piece easier. The thick double bars mark the beginning and ends of a piece of music. The time signature determines how many beats can be in a measure. Measures are used to divide and organize music. The vertical lines on the staff mark the measures. This greatly increases the range of pitches that can be noted, and is often used in piano music, due to the piano's wide range. When the bass and treble clef are combined and connected by a brace (left) and lines, they become the grand staff. Depending on where it is, it is given different names.
The C clef can move on the staff, and the center of the symbol is always over middle C. The lines on the bass cleft, from bottom to top are: G, B, D, F, A ( Good Boys Don't Fight Anyone), and the spaces are A,C,E,G ( All Cows Eat Grass). Again, simple mnemonics can be used to remember the names of the notes. Instead of an E, the bottom line is a G, and the letters proceed logically from there. The bass clef uses the same musical alphabet as treble, but the letters start in different places. The bass clef, also known as the F clef because it locates the line known as F, is on the far left. This is the bass (pronounced 'base' ) staff.
To remember the spaces, just remember that they spell FACE starting from the bottom. (Also popular is Elvis' Guitar Broke Down Friday). One of the most common phrases to remember the names of the lines is: Every Good Boy Does Fine. Many mnemonic devices exist to help a person remember which line and space is which. The staff ends with the last line as an F. Each successive space and line is the next letter in the musical alphabet. The treble staff begins with the first line as E. Since it curls around the G line, it is also called a G clef. The treble clef (the large fancy symbol to the far left) shows the musician that the staff is treble. A simple, unadorned staff is shown below. It consists of 5 lines with four spaces between them. Here is a list of topics discussed on this page: To do this, a system of notation was developed that gives musicians the information they need to play music as the composer intended it. Especially in the days before audio recording and playback, music was often written out as a means of preserving and communicating it.
