    Violin Reading Music

    Seven letters of the alphabet are used to name notes in music.

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

    Musical notes are written on and between five parallel lines called a staff.

    Treble Clef

    The Treble clef or G clef is used for violin music. It also is used by the viola and cello when the notes are in a higher range than the tenor and bass clefs.
    Alto Clef

    The Alto clef is the most frequently used clef in viola music. Notice how the clef curves in the middle to point to the note middle C.

    Bass Clef

    The Bass clef (or F clef) is the most frequently used clef in cello music. The two dots surround the line F.
    Tenor Clef

    The Tenor clef is used for cello music with notes in a range higher than notes found in the bass clef. The middle pointer of this clef points to middle C (the second line from the top of the staff).

    Note Reading

    A quick way to remember note names


    Notes on the lines:

    Memory tip for notes written on the lines: use each note as the first letter of the words in the sentence: Every Good Boy Does Fine.

    Notes in the spaces:

    Memory tip for notes written in the spaces: these letters spell the word: FA C E.

    Ledger Lines
    Ledger lines extend the range of notes beyond the staff. Basically, notes that are extra high or extra low are printed on ledger lines, so you know exactly how far off the staff they are.

    Open Strings

    The above notes are, from left to right (also lowest to highest): G, D, A, E.
