EKS Lesson One  Keyboard orientation

Introducing the musical stave


We need to be able to understand notes both on the keyboard and on the musical stave as mentioned above. Have a look at our second figure, below, and you will see the stave upon which music is written. Each space and line represents a note and you can see that we have written an A note on the stave in the second space up from the bottom, in what is called the treble clef. We will explain the two clefs later.
