Musical notation is a system that uses written symbols to visually represent music that is heard. It includes staff lines where music is written, as well as different types of bar lines that divide music into measures and sections or indicate repeats. The staff consists of five lines and four spaces that are numbered from bottom to top. There are single bar lines that separate measures, double bar lines that separate sections, an end double bar line to indicate the end of a piece, and a repeat symbol to show a section should be repeated.

8. Bar lines
► There are four types of bar lines.
► Single bar lines
► Double bar lines
► End bar line
► Repeat symbol

9. Single Bar lines
► A single bar line divides music into measures (also called bars), breaking up
the musical paragraph into smaller, measurable groups of notes and rests

10. Double bar lines
► A double bar line (or double bar) can consist of two
single bar lines drawn close together, separating two
sections within a piece,.

11. End double bar line
► Bar line followed by a thicker bar line, indicates the end of a piece or
movement.

12. Repeat symbol
► In music, a repeat sign is a sign that indicates a section should be repeated. If
the piece has one repeat sign alone, then that means to repeat from the
beginning, and then continue on (or stop, if the sign appears at the end of the
piece).
