Musical note

The musical notes are the symbols and names that receive the sounds of the diatonic scale, which are 7:

Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La Si

 

Keys

The function of the key is to associate the musical notes with the lines or spaces of the staff.

The key of Sol, in this position, indicates that Sol is located on the second line of the staff

The key of Fa, in this position indicates Fa is located in the fourth line

The key of Do, in this position, indicates that Do is located in the third line.

For the purposes of our study we will learn to locate the notes in the staff using the keys of Sun and Fa, since they are the most commonly used keys.

In the drawing we see the ordered notes from Do to Si in the key of Sun.

Note that Do, is located on an additional line of the staff. Sometimes the 5 lines and 4 spaces of the staff are not enough to write all the notes, and therefore we use additional lines.

Next we will see a key of Sun a little more complete

Note that Sol is located in the second line because this is indicated by the key, we also see how the notes are repeated in the same order to reach higher notes.

This would look like the Fa key, which we normally use for more serious notes.

As you can see, Fa is located on the fourth line.
