How to Read Music - Level 1 (High Voices)

2. Lines and Spaces

Remember that the treble clef curls around the line where we find G? Until you're really familiar with reading music, you can always start by finding G, then working out the other notes in relation to it. It will be slow going at first, but with a little practice you'll soon find that you don't need to think about it any more!

 

The staff has five lines. We use the lines, and the spaces between those lines, to write notes.

 

We only use the first seven letters of the alphabet to name notes - A, B, C, D, E , F and G. After G, we go back to A again.

 

So, the space above G is where we write A.

And the line above A is where we write B. B is on the middle line of the staff.
