Music notation is a system used to visually represent music through symbols on a staff. This staff consists of five horizontal lines and four spaces, where notes are placed to indicate pitch. Different symbols, such as clefs, notes, and rests, convey various aspects of music, including rhythm and dynamics. The primary purpose of music notation is to provide a standardized way for musicians to read and perform compositions. By using this system, composers can communicate their musical ideas clearly, allowing performers to interpret and play the music as intended.
