Piano Lessons: The double staff

The pentagram is the graphic system used by musicians to represent in writing the music. It is in the pentagrana where musical notes are written.

Thus, we also have musical notes are graphical representations of musical sounds.

We at playing the piano, use a system known as double staff, which serves to represent the bass and treble sounds simultaneously.

Consider first a simple staff:

The only interesting thing to know is that the lines and spaces of the staff are appointed from the bottom up as shown in the chart.

Piano Lessons: The keyboard and musical notes

In this piano course we will start by describing the element of piano used by musicians to perform music. This is none other than the piano keyboard. Also learn the musical notes, but not their spelling and reading, but from the point of v ista their place in the piano keyboard.

We will see the seven natural sounds, their position on the keyboard. We leave for later altered sounds that are a bit more complex. It shows the layout of the keys on a piano.

The first thing we can see, looking at Figure 1, the keyboard is that there are groups of two and three black keys alternate. That is precisely the pattern of keys that are repeated, those included in group two and three black keys.

Thus we have seven sounds: DO, RE, MI, FA, SOL, LA and SI. These sounds are only seven, and to cover all the keyboard keys have to be repeated. In short, these seven sounds are repeated but in different tones sounding, more acute or more severe.

Piano Lesson – The staff

The pentagram is the symbol which focuses all the musical script. This is where you write the musical notes and other musical symbols such as bars or formulas to measure. The staff is composed of five horizontal and parallel lines, also equidistant.

These five parallel liner are four spaces between them. These spaces are also located the musical notes. In practice, we say that there are five lines and four spaces These lines and spaces are named from bottom to top, so, for example, further down the line we can name as the first line. A musical pentagam with its lines and spaces designated as described in the theory.

Figure 1. The staff. 5 lines, 4 spaces.

In this musical staff can be added more lines and spaces through what is known as additional lines. Sometimes the notes beyond the scope of the staff, which is why it is necessary to use these additional lines. Musical notes that exceed the staff.

The bass sounds are written in the lower part of the staff. As a musical sound becomes more acute, your letter goes up through the musical staff. On the other hand, it is recommended that the notes exceed four or five lines of the staff.

Musical Note

To facilitate the study of the guitar and not just the guitar but all stringed instruments, has long been used to replace the musical notes by number, which we know as the Encryption or tablature.

Encryption is represented musical notes on a staff of six lines, each of these lines represents a string of the guitar and read in the following order considering that the reference position is taking the guitar to play, so 1st line that is equivalent to the 1st string is what is below and the rest up.

Musical Notes

Musical sounds are represented by the Notes. The sound level is represented by placing these signs in the different lines and spaces of the staff.

We have seven musical notes, which sorted low to high are the musical scale. The notes are C, D, E, F, G, A and SI.

To put the notes, which by its height can not be represented within the staff, are used for very small lines that extend temporarily extending the musical pattern. These signs are called additional lines.
