Staff Paper

Alrighty then fellow bloggers the first thing you MUST know before ever writing notes on that sheet of paper is what kind of paper you need?

This Sheet of paper is called a “staff paper” you can either do this or you just draw the six lines on anything and anytime but this is most preferred to a musician that you want to write a song for. This paper would be more easily readable then a piece of napkin. Now since we know what paper this is what do we write on first? The first thing we need to do is decide what clef we are going to use. A clef is more like an indicator on how high or low you should sing, strum your guitar, and how pick/strum your bass. The most common clef are these bad boys here….

Treble Clef

Bass Clef

Keep in mind that these clefs aren't the same. Treble clef is mostly for people who sing high and Bass clef is for people that sing low.

Now since we know what are they and how they look like where do we put them? Where? And how? Do we put them? This picture will show you exactly how its suppose to look.

The next question you’ll ask yourself is that you now know what you need and what needs to be on that paper so what’s next? The answer to that is to know what each of those spaces mean or what needs to be drawn in there. I really hope you know your alphabet because we are going to need A, B, C, D, E, F and G but where do we put them or in what order? This picture will help you where to put them at.
