This document discusses the treble clef staff and note identification. It explains that a staff has 5 lines and 4 spaces that are counted from bottom to top. It describes choosing the treble clef, also called the G clef, and placing it on the staff so the curl encircles the second line, identifying it as the G note. The lines of the staff spell out the notes F A C E to help identify the notes.

a G clef.
