The notes are arranged on the staff, which has five lines and four spaces. Some notes can also be below the five lines. Here is the staff:
Next to the treble clef is the times or meter signature. This is the symbol that looks like two fours on top of each other. The times signature tells you how many beats per measure (top) and which note gets a beat (bottom). A measure is one box of music notes between two bar lines (the vertical lines that don’t have notes.)
The times signature in the staff above has two fours, so any music in that staff would have four beats per measure and a quarter note or ta would get a beat.
Reading notes on the staff
When you read notes in the treble clef, the notes go up in the alphabet as you go up on the staff. The notes go up from line to space and space to line, not skipping a line or space. If you look at the picture on the top of the page, you will see all the notes we have learned for songs up to page 25 in the book.
In the list of pages on the left is a page that says "flashcards." You can use this to download and print your flashcards if you don't have yours.
