The Staff

Musical notes are written on the staff. There are five lines and four spaces on the staff for notes to be written on(or in).

Here is a picture of the staff.

When speaking about the lines, they are called by numbers starting at the bottom. This means the bottom line is line #1, second from the bottom is line #2, and so on. The spaces are numbered the same way–the bottom space being space #1.
