The notes on the treble staff

We can place notes on the lines and spaces of the staff. This lesson will teach us where to put them when there’s a G-clef. Let’s review the notes, this time we will start on G.

Exercise 1

Read the notes out.

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

Which note comes after G?

Exactly! It is A.

---

Remember: When the G-clef is on the staff, the note on the second line is G. Consequently, if G is on the second line, A is above the second line, which means it is on the second space. Check the example:

Great! Let’s place all the notes on the staff.

Some notes are placed below the second line. Let’s see them.

Exercise 2

These are the notes backward starting on G. Read them aloud.

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

---

Great! Then, the notes on the first space and first line are F and E.
