When you start playing woodwind instruments, it’s really important to learn some basic sheet music symbols.
Here’s a simple guide to help you out:
Staff: This is the set of five lines where the music notes go.
Clefs: Most woodwind music uses the treble clef.
Notes: Different shapes show how high or low a sound is and how long to hold it. For example, quarter notes are filled in with a stem, while half notes are hollow with a stem.
Rests: These symbols indicate silence. A quarter rest looks like a little squiggle.
Time Signature: This shows the rhythm of the music. The most common one is 4/4.
By understanding these basic symbols, you’ll feel more confident playing simple songs!
