Staff Notation is a system used to visually represent music on a set of five horizontal lines and four spaces. Each line and space corresponds to a specific musical pitch, allowing musicians to read and interpret the notes. The placement of notes on the staff indicates their pitch, while additional symbols can denote rhythm, dynamics, and other musical instructions.
In Western music, staff notation is commonly used for various instruments and vocal parts. It includes clefs, such as the treble clef and bass clef, which help identify the range of notes. This standardized system enables musicians to communicate and perform music accurately across different genres and styles.
