Note reading

Here's a few tips for reading the pitch of notes on sheet music. Also see Notes for their lengths.

• you can always spot middle C - 1 line through the middle of the note in the middle of the clefs
• it's easy to memorise the spaces:

F.A.C.E. Spaces spell FACE  - for treble clef
A.C.E.G. All Cows Eat Grass - for bass clef 

• when reading a melody or phrase: once you know the start note, look for steps and skips
