Basics of Reading Music

The fundamentals of music are pitch and rhythm which are placed in a grid of five lines andfour spaces called Staff. Bass Players Read Bass Clef. The symbol of the Bass Clef is derivedfrom the old German way of writing F. The two dots on the right of the bass clef symbolsurround the line on which F pitch is written.

The notes above are all natural however any of this notes can be raised or lowered a halfstep by placing a accidental, sharp (#) or flat (b) right before it. When an accidental occurs,it applies to the whole measure unless it is cancelled out with another accidental.

Sharp (#) Raises a note one half step.

Flat (b) Lowers a notes one half step.

Natural (n) Cancells an accidental previously used.
