                              MUSICAL NOTATION
        
             The main reason for a non musician to learn the  basics 
        of musical notation is so you will better be able to  under-
        stand some of the examples shown in the text. 
        
             If you are not an enrolled student, I recommend you  go 
        to your local library and find a basic music book.  All  you 
        need to know will probably be explained in the first  couple 
        of chapters.
        
             The  following illustration is of the great staff.   It 
        is  comprised of a pair of lines and spaces connected  by  a 
        solid  line  on  both ends.  Each has five  lines  and  four 
        spaces.

                             The Great Staff
        
             The  top part of the GREAT STAFF is called  the  TREBLE 
        clef and the bottom part is called the BASS clef.
        
             The TREBLE clef is designated by a symbol with the  end 
        of the line surrounding the note G.  It also is referred  to 
        as  the  G clef.  In the tuners language this note  is  G-47 
        (the 47th note from the bottom of the piano).  This note  is 
        written on the 2nd line of the treble clef.
        
             The  BASS clef is designated by a backwards C with  two 
        dots that surround the note F. This clef is sometimes called 
        the  F  clef.   This F in tuners language is  F-33,  and  is 
        written on the 4th line of the bass clef.
        
             C-40  separates  the two clefs exactly in  the  middle.  
        This C is often referred to as MIDDLE C for this reason.
        
             Refer to chapter 1 of the text and recall the  sequence 
        of  notes.  If you begin with C-40 and go up one  space  you 
        will  be on D-42.  If you go down one space you will  be  on 






        B-39.
        
             If  you then go up from C-40 to the first line  of  the 
        TREBLE CLEF, you will be on E-44.  Go down from C-40 to  the 
        top line of the BASS CLEF, and you will be on A-37.
        
             Follow this logic throughout the GREAT STAFF along with 
        finding the notes on the piano keyboard, and you should have 
        no trouble with the illustrations in the text.
        
             Refer  to illustration 1-3 and recall the names of  the 
        black  keys  in between the whites.  Work with this  on  the 
        piano for a while and it will become clear.
