Okay, right now, we can figure out how to play some of the notes when reading music, figure out where to put our fingers, at least in the remedial sense right now. And now we're going to start to figure out some other things that are important about our staff. And remember our staff has five lines. And then we have this treble clef. Let's think about the treble clef right now right now, the treble clef is the thing that happens first that you see, so a straight line is drawn. Then you have this point that intersects here at the very top, so you're on the very top line.

And I'm just going to draw this a little bit bigger so that you can see it on the camera. I'm drawing a dot there. I have a dot here on the account. That's the first line second line third line. third line and the line and I'm going to draw a thin curve. On the bottom line, there's another dot and I'm going to draw a big curve and the curls around curls around the 123 fourth line or if you're counting from the bottom one to use that line, which is a G note, Every Good Boy does fine.

So your treble clef is also known as the G clef. So when it curls around the G, that's the reason why they call it a G clef. So let's try this one more time. I'm going to draw it a little faster, a little bit more clean. And you can practice drawing your trouble class too. So I have the thin curl, a large curl and a curls around straight line, curl and a curls around Practice it a couple more times in.

If you have a piece of paper at home, you can follow along. But our staff has five lines. We're going to make this straight line the.the.on, the middle line and the top line, a little bitty curl, a bigger curl between the third line and the bottom than a curls around the genome. So one more time real quick. And here's our treble clef. Now typically you have this little line curling down one way or the other, but it's really not important in the remedial sense of you creating a scramble.

The next thing that we're going to learn is called a key signature and he felt Just like a key that you unlock something with. But what it does for us is it tells us what notes to play. And if we have a high to low or low to or low or high three, and it helps us be able to figure out where to put our fingers a little bit more specifically than previously before, where it was always a regular one, a high two and a high three. It might change now based on my key signature. Now, here's some things to think about. Generally, you have a sharp which looks like a number sign or a tic tac toe sign, or there's nothing there.

Or you have this flat or a series of flats that looks like funny looking B. Now we don't need to necessarily know what all those mean except you'll see A bunch of them in Rome. Now, this is the next thing that you see right beside the the treble clef. This gives us some information that we need to know, even though we don't, we're not diving really deep into what it means. But I want to give you a little bit of a background of the series of at least sharps because when we're armed with a little bit of knowledge, it can make other stuff make more sense. If this is confusing in any way, like you're getting too much information right away.

It's okay to skip this part of this lesson. But as you get more confident in your music reading, go back to this it'll make sense later because it is Kind of an integral key part to learn in music overall and understanding music theory, at least remedial music theory. So, I have this staff and I have these sharp things that are somewhere. But where do they go? What do they mean? Your series of sharps follows some easy methods of learning like we've done already about every good boy does fine face.

Upside down. We go. fat cats go down alleys, eating bugs, and these are our series of sharps or that number sign a little looking thing. So the easy is kind of funny to think about that casket and Go down alleys eating bugs, but it's makes it super easy to learn so that cats go down alleys eating bugs. So what we're trying to get out of this is the first letter out of all of these words, FC, g da Eb. So say that a couple times the fat cats go down alleys eating bugs that cats go down alleys eating bugs one last time, fat cats go down alleys eating bugs.

Now, if we understand our series of chirps here's our treble clef on our staff and fat cats go down alleys, eating bugs. That's if I decided to put all of the sharps in there. And they go specifically in this order on the on the correct app, like this app that we're using here goes on the top line, Every Good Boy does fine. It wouldn't go down here on this app. So later that becomes memorized. And we don't have to know that right now.

But it helps us understand how to play some things on the violin, and how we're going to use the sharp store advantage. And start understanding them slightly, is when we play an a scale, and we've already played in a scale, but we're going to play it in a way that helps us understand more It is on the violin where it is on your staff. And we'll we'll figure that out in the next lesson.
