Let’s dive into the musical alphabet! It’s made up of the first seven letters: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, which then repeat. The lowest note on the piano is A, and the pattern continues up the keyboard. For help memorizing notes, we use mnemonics like ‘Every Green Bus Drives Fast’ for line notes and ‘FACE’ for spaces. Let’s map each note onto the stave and match it to the keyboard, starting with middle E. With this, you’ll recognize every note from bottom to top!
