The following pages are for those children who have been learning how to play the recorder.

Treble Clef

The treble clef tells us the pitch of notes (how high and low they are) and what letter names they will

have. Try drawing some treble clefs below, starting from the inner curve and finishing at the tail.

Let’s learn how to tell which notes are which in the treble clef by separating the notes into line notes

and space notes.

Try drawing the notes from low E to high F in semibreves on the stave below, above their correct

letter names.

So far, we have looked at notes and music that are in the Treble Clef,

which is the swirly symbol at the start of every stave (what we call the

five lines of music). In music, there are 7 different notes:

A, B, C, D, E, F and G.

Of course, when we play music there are many more than just 7 notes, so

once we get to G, we start again, so the next note higher than G is an A.

Stave

To remember which notes sit on lines and spaces, you could use the phrases

Every Green Bus Drives Fast and Fat Animals Can’t Exercise

Can you come up with your own sentences to help you remember the notes on the stave? Remember,

we remember the phrases from the lowest note upwards!

E G B D F .

F A C E .

Can you spell out the words, using your knowledge of the lines and space note letters?
