Hey! I am Mark Black and I am here on expertvillage.com. I am here to talk to you about music theory and learning how to read music. So this is the bass clef and these are dots on the F, this is an F, this is a G, this is an A, this is a B, but if we want to go higher we are just going up the alphabet, this is a C, this is a D, this is an E and this is a F. So, just as an example in bass clef this is an F because we are counting up: F, G, A, B, C, D, E. Okay so most of your notes will be in the staff just because the tension they have put your instrument in writing so that it will be in the staff. So, you will not see these as often however they usually the most exciting and dramatic notes. So, you want to master ledger lines. The little lines, it takes some time getting used to it, but you will be able to do.
