Sheet Music Digital Lesson #5 - The Musical Note
     

In music we have to have a way of showing which key we want played on your keyboard. This why we have musical notes.

Below is a picture of a note on a staff.

 

This note represents the E key on your keyboard because it is intersected by the E line of the musical staff.

Notice that the E is the one just above Middle C.
Now we're going to watch some music play live. Click on the play button below to see and hear the notes play on the musical staff. Notice that as the note moves higher on the staff - the "pitch" is higher. As the note moves lower on the staff - the "pitch" is lower.

Pitch - The highness or lowness of a tone, as determined by the number of vibrations in the sound.

If you can't see the music below, not to worry. This means you need to download the free scorch music plug-in.
