The letters on the left s indicate the name of the notes in order to compose a chord (refer to the chords table at the end of this manual).

LOOKING AT THE KEYBOARD
The keyboard is made up of white and black keys. The black keys are arranged in groups of 2 or 3 which may be of help to you as you learn to recognize the positioning of the notes.

1. The white key immediately to the left of the two black keys is C (DO).
2. The white key immediately to the left of the three black keys is F (FA).
3. By point 1 and 2 you can locate the other notes on keyboard.

MUSICAL NOTATION
The notes are written on five parallel horizontal lines and the four spaces between these lines.
This group of five lines is called the stave.

STAVE STRIP
Apply the stave strip supplied t to identify the notes on the keyboard and on the stave. The names of the notes are written in the international notation system.

MODIFICATIONS
Sometimes, next to the treble clef at the beginning of the stave or next to a single note, these signs will appear: (flat) or (sharp). These signs mean that all the notes on that line, in that space or the single note itself are flat or sharp notes, that is, they are to be played on the relevant black keys. It’s easy to recognize them because of the method with a number followed by the plus (+) sign. The (be Quadro) sign (natural) which you may find on the line of the stave means that the previous (flat) or (sharp) indications are to be cancelled.
