    Intro

    Okay if you've always urged to know what thos funny notes are i will help!
    I've made it simple to learn on both staves.

    Things you need to know.
    What Bass is:

    The lowest part of the musical range.
    What Treble is:
    Ever Wanted To Be Able To Read Music? Well Now You Can! Quick & Easy Tutorial

    The higher part of the musical range.
    Thats it!


    There are two "Clefs" in music. One the Bass, One being treble. Bass for lower notes in a music peice and one for higher.
    Try to imagine 2 guitars.
    Bass Guitar playing Bass notes.
    Electric Guitar playing Treble notes.

    Now this is what you want!

    The Notes & Their explanation


    Now. Here we have the treble clef.

    Notice how the notes acsend.
    Low C is the lowest note on the treble clef here and High B is the highest.

    For now we will ignore the 4 notes which are not within the stave. (The stave being the lines and in between them)'

    A helpful way to learn the notes id by taking the first letters from each of the words in this phrase.

    "Every Good Boy Deserves Fanta"
    E G B D and F are the notes that are on the lines on the stave.

    For the notes in between we only need to learn one word.
    "F A C E"

    That's all the notes in the more popular Treble Clef stave!

    Onto the Bass Clef stave


    Much like the treble clef we'll ignore the 4 notes off the stave for now.
    If you followed the last instructions on how to go about learning the notes you will know what this is for!

    "Good Buses Drive Fast Always"
    Those are the notes on the lines, in order

    "All Cows Eat Grass"
    Are the notes between the lines.

    So if you ever see a peice of music Starting with either one of those clefs you will now be able to tell what notes there are! Very handy for piano and Music Theory!

    More info on the musical Stave/staff if needed
    Spoiler:



    Outro



    And there you have it guys! I hope this helps!
    If i haven't explained anything well enough let me know!
    Any mistakes let me know!
    And any requests let me know!

    Remember there are no stupid questions so feel free to ask anything! I found this confusing too at one point!

    I might do that in future but for now i think this will be enough to get the beginners started XD

    Reminds me of band class. :|
    My teacher put it "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge".
    Yeah, I had a small smirk at that. :P

    well everyone has their variations! I quite like that one though lol

    This just brought this stuff back to the surface of my mind. I guess I had almost forgotten how to read music. Not that I had any musical talent to begin with, mind you (despite 6 years of choir and 2 years of playing the clarinet within the past 10 years). XD

    EDIT: It could prove useful to me in the future, though.

    Eheh, I've always remembered this since first learning it in Year 7, despite not being particularly musically minded. xD;

    I remember relearning this in my 6th grade band class, and I just sat back and didn't listen because I was the only one that knew how to read music. This is very useful though
