Music Reading 101Clefs and Note Names
The Music Alphabet:
It can repeat itself over and over, starting on any letter.
A B C D E F G
The Staff
5 lines, 4 spaces
What note is this?
A clef tells the musician what notes are on each of the lines and
spaces.
It looks like it comes from a fancy G.
G clef, or “treble clef” tells us where G is.
The treble clef circles around the second line. That line is G.
A note on the second line is called G.
G
You can figure out the notes in either direction based on the order of the musical alphabet.
G A B C D E F
If the notes move down, move backwards in the musical alphabet.
GDEF
F clef, or “bass clef” tells us where F is. Bass clef notes are lower than treble clef notes.
The bass clef’s dots are around the fourth line. That line is F.
A note on the fourth line is called F.
F
Just like with treble clef, you can figure out the notes in either direction based on the order of the musical alphabet.
CEF D C
Grand Staff
When both clefs are together, it is called the grand staff. This is how most of our music is presented.
Higher notes (treble) –
soprano and alto
