There are two main clefs with which to familiarize yourself; the first is a treble clef.
The treble clef has the ornamental letter G on the far-left side. The G’s inner swoop
encircles the “G” line on the staff. 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.
Notes placed on the staff tell us which note letter to play on our instrument and how
long to play it. There are three parts of each note, the note head, the stem, and the
flag.
