Recorder B A G

The Treble Clef

We use the treble clef to indicate high notes in music.

The Staff

• The treble clef sits on a group of 5 lines called "The Staff"

• The Staff has five lines, and four spaces

• We count our lines and spaces from the bottom to the top

Reading pitch on the Staff

• A note may sit on a line or a space

• Each line or space on the Treble Staff shows us a specific pitch

• For example, the note in the picture is sitting in the SECOND SPACE - That note is the pitch "A".

Multiple Choice

But what about the note value?

• A note sitting on a space or line can be any of the note values we've learned before, as long as it is sitting on a space or line.

• Let's learn more about the pitches we play for the RECORDER!

The Pitch 'G'

• We hold a G by covering 3 holes in front of the recorder, and the thumb hole in the back

The Pitch 'A'

• We play an A by covering the first two holes in the front of the recorder, and the thumb hole in the back
