what musicians
read and play when

They all have
different lengths.

circle note with no
stem or color in the
circle. It’s length is 4
beats. It’s the longest
note in 4/4 time. It can
be played or sang on
any line or space on
the staff.

• A half note is a note with
a circle that is not
colored in and a stem.
It’s length is 2 beats. It’s

The Staff
• The Staff is what
organizes all the notes in
a piece of music. Before
the 1400’s, music did not
have a staff, only the
names of the notes.
Grand Staff
• The Grand Staff is
what brings together
the treble and the
bass clef in music. It
is most commonly
used in piano pieces
and music scores.
Treble Clef
• The Treble Clef is used for
higher sounding instruments.
The names of the notes can
be seen below. It is also
called the G Clef because it
is supposed to look like a
fancy G!
Bass Clef
• The Bass Clef is used for
lower sounding instruments.
The names of the notes can
be seen below. It was
originally called the F Clef
because it is supposed to
look like a fancy F!
Bar Lines and Spaces
• The Bar Lines and Spaces in music tell us
what note to play or sing. The names of the
notes are different for Treble and Bass Clef,
but there will always be five lines and four
spaces!
