Music Notation Cheat Sheet

The Staff
The staff consists of five lines and four spaces. Each of those lines and each of those
spaces represents a different letter, which in turn represents a note.

We read
notes from
bottom to the
top!

Treble Clef (High Pitch)

The treble clef notates the higher registers of music, so if your


instrument has a higher pitch, such as a flute, violin or saxophone,
your sheet music is written in the treble clef. Higher notes on a
keyboard also are notated on the treble clef.

When you see this symbol… Remember


silly sentence:

Line notes: Every Good Boy Does Fine

Space Notes: F A C E 
Bass Clef (Low Pitch)

The bass clef notates the lower registers of music, so if your


instrument has a lower pitch, such as a bassoon, tuba or cello,
your sheet music is written in the bass clef.

When you see this symbol… Remember silly


sentences:

Line notes: Grizzly Bears Don’t Fly Airplanes

Space Notes: All Cows Eat Grass
