Counting from middle C
Eight notes apart
The letters go round and round. Count eight notes up from G and you reach G again. Two notes with the same letter, eight apart, are an octave apart. The top one sounds like the same note, only higher.
Quick check
How far apart are these two notes?
Which G?
A stave has more than one G. To say which one, count up from middle C. The first G above middle C is on the second line. The second G above middle C is an octave above the first G.
Going down
Going down works the same way. The first G below middle C is in the top space of the bass stave.
Quick check
Which G is this?
Remember
- Same letter, eight notes apart: an octave.
- Say which note by counting from middle C: the first, then the second.
