Notes and clefs

The top clef is a treble clef. The letters in between the lines are F A C and E. As you can tell, they spell the word face. The lines that are directly on the lines are EGBDF. An easy way to remember this is: Every Good Boy Does Fine.

The bottom clef is a Base clef. This is the lower pitch of a musical instrument. The notes are the same as above but just double the pitch lower.
In music, we repeat the same letters over and over because every 8 notes away, the note vibration doubles.

In music, we only use 5 lines to mark notes. We use 5 lines as it is the maximum number of lines in which the middle can be easily identified by the human brain.

    Your picture isn't loading again Jasmine which is a shame... Could you try & load them by using a free online file converter to convert to a file type that will load in blogger? Bass clef is spelled with 'ss' not 'se'. The notes are not the same as the treble clef, they are altered slightly. Reasonable knowledge about how pitch works, it doubles when higher & halves when lower. Well remembered about the stave.
