Numbers to play easily
Numbers 1 to 15 on the stave strip indicate the keys to

LOOKING AT THE KEYBOARD
The keyboard is made up of white and black keys. The black
keys are arranged in groups of 2 or 3 which may be of help
to you as you learn to recognize the positioning of the
notes.
1) The white key immediately to the left of the two black
keys is C (DO).
2) The white key immediately to the left of the three black
keys is F (FA).
3) By point 1 and 2 you can locate the other notes on
keyboard.
MUSICAL NOTATION
The notes are written on five parallel horizontal lines and
the four spaces between these lines. This group of five lines
is called the stave.
THE DURATION OF THE NOTES AND OF THE PAUSES
With reference to the tick-tock of a metronome, each note and each pause has to be performed for a time more or
less long according to the schedule.

MODIFICATIONS
Sometimes, next to the treble clef at the beginning of the
stave or next to a single note, these signs will appear:
(flat) or
(sharp). These signs mean that all the notes on
that line, in that space or the single note itself are flat or
k
sharp notes, that is, they are to be played on the relevant
; to
black keys. It's easy to recognize them because of the
method with a number followed by the plus (+) sign. The
(bequadro) sign (natural) which you may find on the line
of the stave means that the previous
indications are to be cancelled.
