CONTENT

Meaning of music notes

Music notes are a system of signs or symbols used to represent sounds on the staff. They are written on the staff to show the pitch and duration of a sound. Notes are centered on the lines or in the spaces between the lines. Stems on notes above the middle line trail down from the left of the note. Stems on notes below the middle line go up on the right of the note. Stems on notes on the line usually go down except when adjacent notes (notes beside them) have flags that go up.

Note stems are usually one octave (eight successive lines and spaces) long. When two melodies occupy the same staff, the stems for the note sign one melody are written up, and the stems for notes in the other are written down.

Examples and values of music notes

The duration of the sound depends on the note’s length (or values), which is specified by its shape, stem, or flag(s); and to every music note, there is an equivalent rest sign.
