Notes Above And Below The Stave
First remember the clefs, treble on the top stave and bass on the bottom stave.
The next step when reading notes is ledger lines. These are notes that are outside the stave as shown in this example below:
The next step when reading notes is ledger lines. These are notes that are outside the stave as shown in this example below:
The best way is to work out the name of this note by counting up the notes from the top line on the stave. We know that the top line on the treble clef is F from the phrase, Every Good Boy Deserves Football. Then count up each line and space until you reach the note. First space after F is G, then A, B, C and finally D. Over time you will recognise the notes on the ledger lines without having to use this method.
The next example is of a note below the stave. If you look at the first note of the top stave, it is written on the bass clef. Work out the bottom line note which is G from the phrase Good Boys Deserve Football Always and count the notes backwards. The first space is F, the next line is E, D, C and finally B.
The same applies with this example below. Look at the first note of the top stave. Work out the note on the bottom line of the treble clef which is E from the phrase Every Good Boy Deserves Football. Then count back, the first space is D, then the line is C, then B, A, G, F and finally E.
