Reading music: notes, beats and rhythm, sentence 1

Notes sit both on the lines and in the spaces between them; a clef at the start tells you which line is which note, and silly sayings like FACE for the spaces help you learn them until you just know.

Who acts: Notes, clef, line, silly sayings, you · What happens: sit, tell, be, help, learn, know · To what, where: lines, you, note, notes · Speech: someone speaks here
