The musical alphabet
Seven letters
Notes are named with letters. Music uses only seven: A B C D E F G. After G, the letters start again at A. So going up from G, the next note is A.
Quick check
Going up, which letter comes after G?
One step, one letter
On the stave, every line and every space is one step. Going up, each step is the next letter: line, space, line, space. Going down, the letters go backwards: B, A, G, F, E.
