> And then if you keep going down we've got an F and the space, E on the line, D perched just below the stave. > Going down, I'm just going to come down to this stave and A goes down, of course, to G. > Okay, so we can say that our musical alphabet runs A, B, C, D, E, F, G and then the sequence starts repeating itself. > Okay, so on that note if we were following that up alphabetically, A, B, C, D, E, F, G. > It's called a Ledger Line, and that gets us that note. > And then it looks like we've ran out of stave actually, but we can, we can write notes that are higher than this and there's a trick for getting around that. The next one is C, and that's in the space above. So the next thing obviously is B, and that sits on the line, just above that space. A, and I'll put that right here, on this space. But, also, particularly in English speaking countries, letters from the alphabet, and we'll start with A. Things like Do Re Mi, which we still use. Now, these monks started naming the notes. So we got this stave, and I'm going to put a symbol here, which you'll probably recognize. Now we have some relativity that we can work with. Okay? These five lines are like a grid system that can be overlaid onto those dots. Five lines called a Stave, or if you're American, a Staff. They struggled with this right through, until in the 16th century, they came up with this. There's no way that anyone else would be able to interpret these dots. So if you wanted to send this to another monastery, if you wanted to submit it to the Pope for authentication, you couldn't. But you have no musical instrument and you have no recording devices. You've got to imagine you're a 9th century monk and you've come up with a really great piece of music for the church liturgy, okay? You can use this kind of system here, as a memory jogger for you and for the people you're immediately working with. > In the 7th century, Archbishop Isidore of Seville, said, that unless sounds could be held in the memory of man, they are lost because they cannot be written down. It's just plotting where things happened, and roughly how high or low they were. > Yeah, this is just a, a, Scatter Graph. > I can try and make a tune, like, la, la, la, la. You know? It's, it's, it's purely a, a kind of graph of where our notes were. It's not very good for us to able to give this to someone else, to be able to replicate what we did. But actually, it's really quite difficult to know just how high that note is, or how low this note is. And this axis, this axis is giving us Pitch. That would imply that this axis is giving us time. Zack's note came afterwards with low down here, shall we, shall we say. So, I could say obviously my note was high, so I'll stick it up here. Okay? A singable musical quality to the sound, all right? Now, we're going to be looking at how to represent this stuff graphically. > So those two examples have what we call Pitch. That's, again, something that we can sing, we can recognize. > But compare with this, which is high, but is a note. There's no, there's no note to, to latch on to and recognize there. We know it's low, but again bom, bom, bom. > And that's just exactly the same as this one. The thing is with this sound, while I can say it's high, I can't seem to sing it. > And that is the case in nearly every language in the planet. > You'd probably say that this one is high. > The only reason that we're doing this is because it's a really nice visual illustration of some of the things that we're going to be talking about. You don't need to be a piano player, you simply need to be able to put your fingers on the keys and play along with some of the stuff as we do it. And we're hoping that you can get access to any kind of keyboard, including one that you might download as an app. We are going to use the piano quite a lot for this music theory course. Before we get started, a word about pianos and keyboards. It is also great for memorizing the notes on a stand or using to prepare a music activity for kids like a lifesize grand stand on a driveway in chalk or classroom music stand out of painters tape to really engage and learn the music notes that go on the line and spaces on a music staff.Welcome to the first lecture. This music note charts can be used as a reference chart by a piano or music stand to help young learners recall which note is which. Once you decide which chart you prefer, I suggest printing this chart of music notes on cardstock or use a laminator for durability. The musical note chart pdf file will open in a new window for you to save the freebie and print the template.
