I have started today learning how to understand music notation, so in the first part I went in to the basic concepts of music notation and started learning how to apply them to read music. The ability to read music notation is an invaluable skill for any who wants to work on this field. I have learned that music notation is an ingenious system of graphic symbols that efficiently combine all the information needed to play or read a piece of music. The information is readable and playable on many musical instruments. It is therefore referred to as a universal language.

In the second part I have got to learn that a Grand Staff is the basic graphic system used to read piano music notation and it is divided into two parts: Treble Clef Staff and Bass Clef Staff.

Grand Staff

 

The upper part is the Treble Clef and is associated with higher pitched notes. It is called the Treble Clef because it is for higher pitched notes and instruments relative to other notes and standard instruments that are lower pitched that use the Bass Clef. It’s also called the G Clef to indicate its reference point of the second line from the bottom being the note G.

The phrase “Every Good Boy Does Fine” is used to learn how to read music because it is a good way to memorize the letter names represented by placing a note on the lines of the Treble Clef:

E-G-B-D-F.

This is the Treble Clef Staff with notes drawn on the lines:

Lines of the Treble Clef

The spaces between the lines can be memorized by using the word FACE from bottom to top:

F-A-C-E

So, we can put the lines and spaces together using each adjacent line and space together from bottom to top. Doing this we can see that we have used the notes of the musical alphabet sequentially.

According to what we know about the Grand Staff it is logical to assume that the Bass Clef is the bottom part of it. The Bass Clef, like the Treble Clef also has five lines and four spaces. The Bass Clef is however associated with lower pitched notes. It is called the Bass Clef because it is for lower pitched notes and instruments relative to other notes and standard instruments that are higher pitched that use the Treble Clef. It is also sometimes called the F Clef to indicate its reference point of the second line from the top being the note F.

The phrase that is typically used for Bass Clef is “All Cows Eat Grass”. This refers to the spaces in between the lines from bottom to top. It can also be a good way to memorize the letter names represented by placing notes on the spaces of the bass.

A-C-E-G.

This is the Bass Clef Staff with notes drawn on the spaces:

Spaces of the Bass Clef

This leads to the next step, assigning letters to the lines of the Bass Clef from bottom to top:

G-B-D-F-A

So, again we put the lines and spaces together using each adjacent line and space together from bottom to top. Doing this we can see that we again used the notes of the musical alphabet sequentially.
