Music notation captures 12 unique pitches that span the entire audible range.

• These seven "letter" notes appear on every instrument and anchor the musical alphabet.
• Five accidentals fill the gaps: each can be named as a sharp (♯) or flat (♭) depending on context.
• Moving up or down by one semitone means shifting to the nearest available pitch.

Understanding these 12 pitches unlocks every scale, chord and melody in Western music.

Once you know these 12 notes, you can navigate any piece of sheet music.

The staff is your roadmap: notes placed higher sound higher, and notes placed lower sound lower.

• Most melodies, vocals and right-hand piano parts use the treble clef.
• Bass clef indicates the fourth line up is F — helpful for left-hand piano and bass instruments.
• Rhythm comes from recognising these shapes and counting their durations.
• Bass lines follow G-B-D-F-A and spaces spell A-C-E-G.

Pair your reading practice with playing or singing to connect visual symbols with actual sound.
