These are short lines
drawn above and below
the staff to provide for
notes outside the staff

Fixes the pitch on the
fourth line of the staff. F-
clef is also called bass
clef. clef.

11. G-Clef
Fixes the pitch on the
second line of the staff. It
is called treble clef.

12. Sharp

note to raise its pitch
one semitone or
halftone. Thus, a sharp
before the note fa is
sung or played as fa, but
sounds one half tone
higher than the original.

note to lower its pitch
one semitone or
halftone. Thus, a flat

sung or played as mi, but
sounds one half tone
lower than the original.

and flats (or the absence
of them), found at the
beginning of the staff,
that indicate the key of
the musical composition.

15. Time Signature
Indicates the particular
rhythm to follow in a
musical piece. There are
two numbers in a time
signature: one above the
other. The upper number
indicates the number of
beats in the measure and
the lower number denotes
the kind of note that
receives one beat.

16. Rhythm
The systematic division
of musical ideas. Rhythm
is any aspect of the rate
of musical flow from its
basic meter to the
pattern of accents over a
whole work.
