                           WHAT ARE NOTES?

                 Musical  notes are  symbols  that  represent  sounds  of different  pitches  in  music.  These  notes

                 help musicians play melodies and harmonies accurately. Each note has a specific pitch, which
                 determines how high or low the sound is.
                 Why are Notes Important?

                     Notes form the foundation of music composition.

                     They allow musicians to read, write, and perform music.
                     Notes define the melody and harmony of a song.




                           THE MUSICAL ALPHABET

                 Music uses a special alphabet consisting of seven letters: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. Once we reach G,

                 the cycle repeats back to A.
                 Example:

                     The note after G is A again, but at a higher pitch.

                     The sequence continues as A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A, B, and so on.
