Music Theory 1
Units 1- 2The staff, clefs, basic note values, and time signatures
+The Staff, Notes, and Pitches
Music is written on a staff with:
5 Lines
4 Spaces
Much like your HAND!
Notes on the staff represent different pitches
Lines and spaces are numbered from bottom to top
So, the 5th line is on the TOP!!
+The Staff, Notes, and Pitches
As notes go UP on the staff they sound higher
As notes go DOWN on the staff they sound lower
See Alfred’s Lesson 1…
+Treble and Bass Clef
In Music, the notes are named after the first seven
letters of the alphabet: A-G
NO H!! : After G we go back to A!!
Clefs- Help us to organize the staff to make notes easier to read and tell us where certain notes are located
+Treble and Bass Clef
The Treble Clef- is used for notes in the higher pitch ranges
The Treble Clef is also called the G clef
The five lines of the TREBLE CLEF are named as follows:
E G B D F ( Every Good Boy Does Fine )
The 4 Spaces of the TREBLE CLEF are named as follows:
F A C E
+Treble and Bass Clef
+Treble and Bass Clef
The Bass Clef is used for notes in the lower pitch ranges.
The Bass Clef is also called the F clef
The five lines of the Bass clef are named as follows:
G B D F A ( Great Big Dogs Fight Animals )
The four spaces of the Bass clef are named as follows:
A C E G ( All Cows Eat Grass)
Alfred’s Exercises: Lesson 2 and 3
+Treble and Bass Clef
+The Grand Staff and Ledger Lines
When both Treble and Bass Staves are connected by a brace and a line they form the GRAND STAFF
+Ledger Lines
Ledger Lines are used to indicate notes when we run out of room on the staff.
These can be used when a note is either too high or too low to be written on the staff.
+Let’s see this in a different way!

+Class Activity: Name the Note and Pass it On!
First person names the note I write on the board
That person then draws a note and next person comes up to identify
Alternate between Clefs!! ( Ex. Treble then Bass then Treble etc…)
