Music Notation

What is Music Notation?

• Music notation is a system used to write down


music.
• It tells us what notes to play, how long to play
them, and how they sound.
The Staff – Lines and Spaces
• The staff has 5 lines and 4 spaces
• Notes can be written on a line or in a space
• The lines and spaces are counted from thee bottom up
The Clefs – Treble and
Bass
• Treble clef (G clef): Used for higher sounds (e.g.,
violin, flute, right hand on piano)

• Bass clef (F clef): Used for lower sounds (e.g.,


cello, tuba, left hand on piano)
Line and Space Notes –
Treble Clef

• Notes on the lines (from bottom to top): E - G - B -


D – F /MI–SOL-SI-RE-FA

• Notes in the spaces: F - A - C – E/ FA-LA-DO-MI


Line and Space Notes –
Bass Clef

• Notes on the lines: G - B - D - F – A/ SOL-SI-RE-FA-


LA
• Notes in the spaces: A - C - E – G/ LA-DO-MI-SOL
Note Positions on the Staff

• Each line and space represents a different pitch


• The note's position (line or space) tells you what
note it is.
• The clef tells you how to name the note.
Ledger Lines – Notes
Beyond the Staff

• When notes go above or below the staff, we use


ledger lines.
• Ledger lines are small extra lines added just for
that note.
Summary

• Music notation is based on lines and spaces


• The clef tells you how to read the notes.
• The shape of the note tells you how long to hold it.
• Learning to recognize notes by position is the first
step in reading music.
