Let's learn music
What is Music???
According to Merriam-Webster..Music is the science or art of ordering tones or sounds in succession, in combination, and in temporal relationships to produce a composition having unity and continuity
The first thing that we must learn in music is Musical Notation.

There are two kinds of clefs..the G clef/treble clef and F clef/bass clef
It is called G clef because it curls on the G line.

maria flor*The Grand Staff
Grand staff is formed by connecting and combining the treble and bass clef by brace( left) and lines.
See image below:

*Measure
It marks the staff by vertical lines. Time signature determines how many beats can be in a measure.

maria flor*Ties and Slurs
They connect two or more notes. Ties connect notes of the same pitch(left). Slurs connect notes of different pitch.

*Accidentals
To increase or decrease the pitch of notes accidentals are used. Accidentals in the very beginning of the music sheet are key signatures.Accidentals stay in effect for all notes of the same pitch for the rest of the measure.
Sharps (right side of picture) raise the pitch of the note by one half step.
Flats (left side of the picture) lower the![[IMG]](proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fmethod-behind-the-music.com%2Ftheory%2Fimages%2Faccidentals.png&hash=3180e10c8349ef926249ac8fa72cde8c)

It tells how many beats per measure and what note gets the beat. The top number determines how many beats in a measure while the bottom number tells what kind of note gets the beat.
EX: 4/4-----4 beats per measure and the quarter note gets the beat.
3/4------3 beats per measure and still the quarter note gets the beat
