Note Placement in Sheet Music : Beginner's Lesson

Video Transcript

" Hi! I’m Will and I’m going to teach you where the notes are on the bass clef and the treble clef. For the treble clef the notes are represented the solid spaces are represented by the word face; so if you have F and then A and C and then E going up so for instance a note here you’d play an F on the piano, a note here you’d play an A on the piano, this a C and this an E, now in between everyone of these notes on the lines there other notes. For instance on this one is a G on this line, on this line there’s a B, on this line there’s a D, so the whole thing looks like F G A B C D E and then it repeats on the top again with an F and then a G and it goes up in a similar manner and then down in a similar manner, for instance this line is E and under this line is D. Now for the bass clef it’s very similar to the treble clef except that the A starts on this line, so you have A C E G with corresponding notes in between so D would be here and between the A and the C D would be here in between the C and the E and F would be here in between the E and the G and the notes repeat after G so it goes A B C D E F G and then A again at the top and then B. Then from this if you want to connect cause these notes for instance this D is this pitch on the piano whereas this B is this pitch on the piano, if you want to play through the whole set of notes on the piano you just add one extra line here in between the two and there’s your C and you can go from this G or down here from these bottom notes you can expanded to fill up the whole range of notes."
