Recorder notes: B, A & G

The treble clef sits on a group of 5 lines called "The Staff"

The Staff has five lines, and four spaces

We count our lines and spaces from the bottom to the top

A note may sit on a line or a space

Each line or space on the Treble Staff shows us a specific pitch

For example, the note in the picture is sitting in the SECOND SPACE - That note is the pitch "A".

A note sitting on a space or line can be any of the note values we've learned before, as long as it is sitting on a space or line.

Let's learn more about the pitches we play for the RECORDER!

The pitch 'G' sits on the second line of the Treble Staff

We hold a G by covering 3 holes in front of the recorder, and the thumb hole in the back

The Pitch 'A' sits on the second SPACE of the Treble Staff

We play an A by covering the first two holes in the front of the recorder, and the thumb hole in the back

The pitch 'B' sits on the THIRD line of the Treble Staff

We play a 'B' by holding the first hole of the recorder in the front, and covering the thumb hole in the back.
