Flashcards
Treble Clef
Treble Clef
The treble clef is a musical symbol that indicates that notes written on the staff are to be played higher in pitch. It is also called the G clef because the note G is placed on the second line from the bottom.
Bass Clef
Bass Clef
The bass clef is a musical symbol that indicates that notes written on the staff are to be played lower in pitch. It is also called the F clef because the note F is placed on the fourth line from the bottom.
Key Signatures
Key Signatures

Study Notes
Clefs and Staff Notation
- Treble and bass clefs, all notes on the lines and spaces, including ledger lines, are fundamental.
- Keyboard layout, including enharmonic keys (e.g., C#/Db) must be memorized.
Key Signatures
- Memorize the rules for sharps and flats in key signatures: the pattern of sharps and flats on a staff.
- Understand the acronyms BEADGCF and FCGDAEB, related to the ascending order of notes on the lines of the treble clef and bass clef, helpful for identifying key signatures.
Intervals
- Define and identify whole and half steps.
- Recognize and calculate major, perfect, augmented, and diminished intervals, ascending or descending.
- Octaves are complete intervals encompassing 8 notes.
Rhythmic Values
- Understand all rhythmic values from whole notes to sixteenth notes and rests: their relationships, division, and combination.
- Dotted notes and how they alter rhythmic values.
- Practice counting and notating beats from worksheets like Rhythm Studies.
Enharmonic Equivalents
- Understand that enharmonic notes represent the same pitch but are written differently (e.g. G#/Ab).
- Be able to identify enharmonic equivalents.
Time Signatures
- Master common time signatures (2/4, 3/4, 4/4).
- Understand cut time (2/2) as 2x faster than 4/4, where a half note receives one beat.
Musical Markings
- Recognize basic musical markings for tempo (e.g., Adagio, Allegro), dynamics (e.g., Forte, Piano), and articulations (e.g., Staccato, Legato).
