Melody and reading music
The stave and the treble clef
Five lines, four spaces and a clef at the start: that is how you read how high a note sounds. You call the notes C, D, E or do, re, mi.
What you need first
Why
How can someone in Japan play a melody you write down in Ghent, even though you do not speak the same language?
Musicians all over the world read the same writing: notes on five lines. Higher on the stave means higher in sound.
If you can read that writing, you can save a melody, pass it on and still play it hundreds of years later the way the composer meant it.
