Today we’re going to cover a foundational building block of learning how to read music notes.

 

Music notes and pitches are named using the first seven letters of the alphabet:   A B C D E F G.   A ‘clef’ placed at the beginning of the staff  fixes the position of the pitches on the staff.

The treble clef, also called the G clef, indicates that the note G falls on the second line.  Notice how the bottom of the clef’s stylized G wraps around the second line.  Music for melodic instruments such as  the violin, and flute, as well as music for singers and guitarists is usually written in the treble clef. It’s the most common clef, therefore it’s critical for anyone serious about learning how to read music notes to recognize it.
