What are Treble Clef Notes?
Now that you know where “G” is on the treble clef staff, it’s time to learn the rest of the notes.
How are we going to do this?
By using the music alphabet.
Going Up
When you move up the staff, you go through the music alphabet in order of letter names.
A-B-C-D-E-F-G
You can do this starting on any pitch.
Going Down
When you move down the staff, you go backwards through the alphabet.
G-F-E-D-C-B-A
Again, it doesn’t matter what pitch you start on. You will still move in order going in reverse.
The treble clef notes are not too hard to learn by using the music alphabet, but there is an even easier way.
We’ll talk about this in the next 2 lessons. For now, go to Treble Clef Line Notes – Reading Music Lesson #10
