Lesson 2 :: Notes & Pitch

Notes

Notes on the staff will be either space notes or line notes. A space note is any note which rests within a space of the staff without crossing over a line. A line note is any note split through the middle by a line. Notice in the examples that We’ve included leger notes.

Space Notes

A space note fits within a space on the staff (or between leger lines).  At first,it mught be tough to draw a note exactly in the space, but keep at it.  If you go over the line, you space note may look more like a line note.

 

Space notes, low to high.

Line Notes

Line notes have a line going through their middle. When you draw a line note be sure the line goes through the middle of the note, otherwise it might look more like a space note, and that can be confusing.
