FUNDAMENTALS OF MUSIC: The Staff, Clefs, and Ledger lines.

  THE STAFF The Staff is a foundation upon which notes are built in music. IIt consists of five equally spaced horizontal lines. Most of the notes of the music are placed on one of these lines or in a space in between the lines. Extra  Ledger line   may be added to show a note that is too high or too low to be in the Staff. Ledger lines are additional lines or small lines that extends the Staff, either above or below to show notes that are too high or too low. Vertical Bar lines  divide the Staff into short sections called measures  or   bars.  A   Double bar line,  either heavy or light, is used to Mark the end of larger sections of music, including the very end of a piece, which is marked by a heavy-double bar. A musical staff remains inactive or meaningless until a clef is added. The lines and spaces on a musical staff should determine the Letter name  of the note to be sang or played but without a clef attached to this staff,th...

Music Note Values - The Five Common Note values in Music and their Rests

  The Musical Notes And Their Time Values In Staff Music In music notation, a note value indicates the relative duration of a note, using the texture or shape of the notehead, the presence or absence of a stem, and the presence or absence of flags/beams/hooks/tails. Note values in music represent the duration for which a note is held, indicating how long a pitch is sounded. They are visually represented by the shape of the note and the presence or absence of a stem and flags/beams.  Double Whole Note (Breve) A breve is a musical notation symbol that represents a note that is held for twice the duration of a whole note (semibreve). In modern musical notation, a breve is represented by a double whole note or a rectangular note head with no stem. It is equivalent to two whole notes tied together. A breve is typically worth: - 8 beats in common time (4/4 time) - 2 whole notes (semibreves) tied together Breves are less common in modern music notation but are still used in certain s...
