About This Unit.


This unit exists to help you learn the
names of the traditional grand staff notes.
These names are essential tools for
anyone who has a serious interest in
learning to play the piano or any other
keyboard instrument. Knowing these
names is one of the most basic tools of th
musician and is the most esential tool for
being able to "read music."

This unit points out many note patterns that


relate to the keys on the piano. These
patterns can be helpful in several ways. The
patterns break the problem of remembering
the note names into smaller pieces, which
can be dealt with one at a time. The patterns
can help you remember the names more
easily, because each pattern has some logica
relationships to itself and to the keyboard.

Learning these names well enough so tha


one can instantly recognize any note is
one of the most difficult tasks that faces
the keyboard student. It's not that learning
the names is complicated. There really is
nothing to figure out. You simply must be
able to attach the names to the notes. It's
the MEMORIZING that's so difficult.

The notes in this unit are colored the colors


of the octave groups in which they belong.
This will help you set up a mental map of
where each of the many repetitions of each
letter name belongs on the keyboard. (There
are 8 A's, B's, and C's -- and 7 of each of the
other letter names on the keyboard.) You
need to know not only the name of each note
but must also know WHICH key to play the

The Five-Line Staff


Piano music is written on two identical 5-line
staves, the treble staff for the right hand and the
bass staff for the left hand. The treble and bass
staves are identical in spacing, even though the
notes on them are named differently. On this
page, we are looking at the structure of this
single 5-line staff, which is the same for either
hand.
The lines of this staff are always evenly spaced.
The notes are round and take up exactly the
amount of space between 2 lines of the staff, as
you can see above.
The lines of the staff are always numbered the
same way: from 1 to 5, starting at the bottom of
the 5 lines.
There are only two places for a musical note, it's
either on a line (straddles the line) or it's in a
space, as the examples above show.

Because the bass and treble staves


together don't provide places for the very
low or very high notes, or for notes
between the bass and treble staves, we
have to add more lines to make places for
these notes.
These extra lines are called "ledger lines."
They are added above or below the staff
only when there are notes requiring them.
Middle C is a note on a ledger line between
the treble and bass staves. It's on the first
ledger line below the treble staff and also
on the first ledger line above the bass
staff. That ledger line appears only when
there is a C to be played, otherwise the
line is not shown.
When a note is on, for example, the third
ledger line above the staff, the two ledger
lines below it also are shown, so that we
can see that it is the third line.

Grand Staff Prep Exercises - Group Colors PG-15b v8.4 2

Introduction. These exercises are designed to help


you learn to play the notes of the GRAND STAFF by
learning their letter names and matching these names to
the names of the keys of the keyboard.

The Note Patterns on the Grand Staff. The notes on


the grand staff (see the next page) have a very simple
basic pattern. Reading from the bottom to the top of the
staff, the notes for the white keys simply begin with A and
proceed IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER to the top of the staff
(and beyond). The musical alphabet uses only the FIRST 7
LETTERS of the full 26 letter alphabet that you learned in
school. When going up the grand staff with notes in
alphabetical order, you begin again with A as soon as you
reach the end of the musical alphabet, G. The full alphabet
of the notes on the grand staff reads from bottom to top
like this:
ABCDEFGABCDEFGABCDE.

The Patterns of Keys on the Keyboard. The white


keys on the keyboard match this same alphabetical
order, going from left to right, or as we say, "going up."
You have already learned another very important pattern
of keys on the keyboard. This is the pattern of the CDE
"low group" and the FGAB "high group" of each octave
group. The low group is centered on the group of 2
black keys, and the high group is centered on the group
of 3 black keys. Keeping this pattern in mind can help
you learn the names of the notes with the color coding
provided in this unit. In this unit the colored notes are
colored with colors matching their octave group colors.

All rights reserved: Copyright 1998-2014 Music Innovators Workshop LLC

Grand Staff Prep Exercises - Group Colors PG-15b v8.4 3

The Low Group. In this unit, notes for the 3 white keys
(CDE) of each low group are colored with the color of
their octave group. This knowledge will help you match
these notes on the musical staff with the corresponding 3
keys on the keyboard.
The High Group. Notes for the 4 white keys (FGAB) of
each high group remain white in contrast to the colored
notes of the low groups.

Summary. It is suggested that, for each exercise,


students read aloud the names of the notes of each small
group for practice. First, read all of the CDE notes, then
all of the FGAB notes of the exercise. This should be
repeated until the naming of the notes becomes relatively
easy. Many of the songs can be played in 5 finger
positions by placing the left thumb on E and the right
thumb on F. Notice that with the hands in these
positions, the colored notes are played LH, and the white
notes are played RH. Let these exercises help you learn
the names of all of the notes on the grand staff and which
keys they match.

Remember the ACE's. You have already learned how


the ACE patterns can help you learn the names of the
ACE notes. The colored notes in this unit can help you
learn the names of the other notes. Both of these ideas
can be helpful if you will use them!

Instructions for the Exercises


This unit's main purpose is to help you learn to
match the notes of the grand staff with the keys on
the keyboard. You do this through the note names
and the patterns that they form on the musical
staff. Learn to match these patterns with the low
group (CDE) and the high group (FGAB) patterns
ON THE KEYBOARD.

Use of Color in the Exercises of this Unit


The notes of the Low Groups (CDE) are colored the colors of the octave groups on
the keyboard - as marked by the key labels of this workshop. The notes of the
High Groups (FGAB) are white in contrast to these low groups.

INTRODUCTION
This unit is intended primarily for students WHO HAVE LEARNED TO PLAY
MELODIES FROM KEY MAPS and who are now beginning to learn to read
standard notation. It is also suitable for others who have learned to play
the keyboard but have yet to learn how to read standard notation. This unit
is a part of a broader set of materials intended to help with the transition to
reading standard notation. The main focus of this unit is on learning and
remembering the NAMES of the notes on bass and treble staves. It
assumes that the student can readily name the white keys of keyboard.
This unit uses STANDARD PITCH notation, leaving standard RHYTHM
notation for a later time. The rhythm notation in this unit shows the beat
length of each note in the same manner as shown on key maps - except
that the orientation is changed from vertical to horizontal. It is assumed
that students starting this unit already have the ability to play the songs of
this unit on key maps, so this is a venture in converting some of that
knowledge into the ability to read the standard pitch notation.
Sharp and flat notes are marked with the addresses of the keys to be
played. The notes are color coded in a way that matches them with the
colors of the octave groups of the keyboard. The notes for the LOW
GROUPS (CDE) are all colored, and the notes for the HIGH GROUPS
(FGAB) remain white It is intended that these small groups will help
students focus on matching the notes with the small groups of keys on the
keyboard.
It is suggested that, for each song, students read the names of the notes of
each small group aloud for practice. First, read all of the CDE notes, then
all of the FGAB notes of the song. This should be repeated until the
naming of the notes becomes relatively easy. Many of the songs can be
played in 5 finger positions by placing the left thumb on E and the right
thumb on F. Notice that with the hands in these positions, the colored
notes are played LH, and the white notes are played RH.
Each song is presented twice - first with the treble clef, then with the bass
clef. All of the songs are first shown with the treble clef, then all are shown
with the bass clef. Song texts and standard chord symbols are provided
for the songs in the treble clef only.

In this unit, most notes can be read as hops, steps, or skips.
For jumps to white keys and for notes at the beginning of
each staff, you will find the letter name on the note. Sharp
and flat notes are marked with the address of the key to be
played.
Each song is presented twice - once on each of two facing
pages. The version on the left page is written for the bass
clef and the version on the right, for the treble clef. For the
versions on the treble clef the song text is shown and
standard chord symbols are provided above the notes for
teachers and for students who have aready learned to play
from chord symbols.

INTRODUCTION
This unit is primarily intended for students WHO HAVE
LEARNED TO PLAY MELODIES FROM KEY MAPS and who
are now beginning to learn to read standard notation. This
unit is a part of a broader set of materials intended to help
with the transition to reading standard notation.
THIS UNIT FOCUSES ON STANDARD PITCH notation,
leaving standard rhythm notation for a later time. The
rhythm notation in this unit shows the beat length of each
note in the same manner as shown on key maps - except
that the orientation is changed from vertical to horizontal. It
is assumed that students starting this unit already have the
ability to play the songs of this unit on key maps, so this is
a venture in converting some of that knowledge into ability
to read the standard pitch notation.
In this unit, a letter name is shown for the note at the
beginning of each staff line. Also, the letter name is given
for each "jump" to the next note. The notes for the black
keys are shown with the addresses of the keys (1, 2, 3, 4, or
5). Thus, the student will be able to read the pitches with
this information and with the already acquired ability to
read the "hop, step, and skip" intervals learned from
previous key map instruction.
Each song is presented twice - once on each of two facing
pages. The version on the left page is written for the bass
clef and the version on the right, for the treble clef. For the
versions on the treble clef the song text is shown and
standard chord symbols are provided above the notes for
teachers and for students who have aready learned to play
from chord symbols.
