Music notes

The staff is the fundamental latticework of music notation, upon which symbols are placed. The five stave lines and four intervening spaces correspond to pitches of the diatonic scale – which pitch is meant by a given line or space is defined by the clef

G clef (Treble Clef)

The centre of the spiral defines the line or space upon which it rests as the pitch G above middle C, or approximately 392 Hz. Positioned here, it assigns G above middle C to the second line from the bottom of the staff, and is referred to as the "treble clef." This is the most commonly encountered clef in modern notation, and is used for most modern vocal music. Middle-C is the 1st ledger line below the stave here. The shape of the clef comes from a stylised upper-case-G

Quaver / Eighth note

For notes of this length and shorter, the note has the same number of flags (or hooks) as the rest has branches.

Musical symbols are the marks and symbols that are widely used in western musical scores, styles, and instruments today. These symbols are used in modern pieces of western music to describe a composition in its fundamentals – pitch, rhythm, tempo – and, to some degree, its articulation.

Basic Music Notes

The above diagram shows a simple music notes ranging from A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. as you can see the notes are in ascending order, meaning the higher the note are position,the higher the pitch . as you can see also after the note 'G' ended, it is again followed by A note.

As an example, the extract notes from above (London bridge is falling down by Peter Advinson) . In this set of notes, you can now tell what key does a note represents based on the basic diagram shown before. the key for the first part of the extract are; G, A, G, and F , followed by E, F, and G. You can try figured out the rest.

Here are some examples set of notes you can try to figure, that way you can practice reading music note.
