* Ledger lines notes are also arranged in alphabetical order when going above the staff, for example, the top line of the treble clef is F and the note above it is G and it continues as A, B, C and on and on.
* The ledger line notes below the staff move in the opposite direction of the alphabet, for example, the bottom line note of the treble clef is E and the note just under it is D and it continues as C, B, A and on and on.
* Knowing that a sharp will take the note a semitone higher and a flat will lower it by a semitone. A double sharp used before the head of a note will raise it by two semitones and a double flat will lower it by two semitones. These are also ways in which notes are recognized as enharmonic equivalent to other notes. For example, C double sharp is also D natural and C double flat is also B♭. Normally these type of accidentals is used in melodies where the notes are already affected by an accidental in the key signature.
C Double Sharp D Natural
B Flat C Double Flat
The Piano Black and White Keys
* The piano is made up of a number of white and black keys, the black keys are in sets of twos and threes, with two of the white keys between each set of black keys and one white key between each black key in each of the sets. The name of the white key that comes before each set of the two black keys is called C and continuing to the right each white key is named in alphabetical order using the first seven letters of the alphabet. On the piano, these letters are rotated, for every time a letter makes a rotation it is called an octave. While the white keys represent all natural notes, the black keys are used for sharps and flats. Knowing that sharps are used to make notes a semitone higher, the black key to the right of the white keys are the sharps for those white keys. For example, the black key at the right of C is called C sharp and these black Keys are also used to flatten notes. After all, a flat is used to lower a note by a semitone and on the piano, these Keys are at the left of the white keys. For example, the black key at the left of D is called D flat if you would notice D flat and C sharp both use the same black key, they both have the same pitch this is called enharmonic equivalent.

Pitch and Pitch Class
Pitch is the highness and lowness of sound, these sounds can be identified in melodies through any of these 12 different pitches which is notated as, A, Bb, B, C, Db, D, Eb, E, F, Gb, G, Ab and A.
A Bb B C Db D Eb E F Gb G Ab A.
* Pitch Class are notes of the same letter name or its enharmonic equivalent that has the same sound but are an octave or octaves higher or lower.

* These are an example of some of the notes that belongs to the pitch class of C and they are C2, C3, B#3, C4, C5 and C6
This Is An Example of A Music Score.
* The top staff is the treble clef and it is also called the G clef.
* The third staff from the bottom is the C clef and when its arrow on the middle line it is called the alto clef.
* The second clef is also the C clef but this time the arrow is on the fourth line and it is called the tenor clef.
* The bottom staff clef is the bass clef and it is called the F clef.
* On the treble clef staff, middle C is the first ledger line note below the staff and wherever the arrow is on the C clef is middle C. The bass clef staff has middle C as the first ledger line note above the staff.
LESSON 1 BINARY & TERNARY FORM Ø There are three types of binary forms, rounded binary, balanced binary, and simple binary. They all consist of two parts, with both parts normally repeated and ending with a cadence. This image is an example of a melody written in binary form It begins in A minor in the A section., and modulates in the B section to C major, the related major key. https://phamoxmusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Binary-Form-Bourre-by-bach.jpg Ø The rounded binary form begins with a repeated A section, followed by a contrasting B section, which comes before the reinstated section A that is sometimes varied. The beginning of section A normally starts on the tonic and ends in the tonic Key that could be a half cadence. The B section can begin in a key other than the tonic or employ other techniques to emphasize the contrast. The return of section A takes place in the tonic key and ends with a cadence in the home key. In this image of the bin...
LESSON 3 VARIATION FORM Ø Variation form is a musical idea repeated throughout the melody in different ways. Some of the ways that create a variation to the musical idea are its rhythmic pattern, ornamentation, and mode change. There are two primary types of various forms: continuous and sectional variations. This image of the Theme and Variation shows the theme below. Above are the variation, and the notes highlighted in red are the corresponding notes from the theme. http://www.raymelograne.com/uploads/5/8/3/0/5830182/4943018_orig.jpg Ø Continuous variation is a style developed throughout the Baroque period under two forms, the ground bass, also called passacaglia and chaconne. Ø Ground bass or passacaglia features a repetition in the bass line with its variation in the upper voice. At times, the upper voice takes on a portion of the bass line repetition that can be as long as a phrase and sometimes overlaps. In this image of Passacaglia, a...
LESSON 5 NEAPOLITAN SIXTH Ø The Neapolitan 6 th chord is a chromatic, flattened supertonic chord , written in its 1st inversion and distinct in its sound. The image on the left displays the second scale degree chord as it appears in a minor scale, a diminished chord, and on the right, the same chord but as a lower second scale degree in 1 st inversion. https://viva.pressbooks.pub/openmusictheory/chapter/bii6/#:~:text=The%20Neapolitan%20sixth%20%28%E2%99%ADII6%29%20%28%E2%99%AD%20I%20I%206%29,of%20a%20iio6%20i%20i%20o%206%20chord . Ø The Neapolitan 6 th chord mainly comes from the second scale degree of the minor scale as a diminished chord. Having the 2 nd degree lower by a semitone, it transforms into a major chord. This image displays the function of the chords as it appears just before a fully diminished 7th chord which is before the dominant. https://viva.pressbooks.pub/openmusictheory/chapter/bii6/#:~:text=The%20Neapo...
