The staff is the foundation upon which notes are drawn.
(這是五線譜)
The modern staff comprises five lines and four spaces.
(現代五線譜有五條線,四個間)
Every line or space on the staff represents a white key on the keyboard.
(每一條線或間都對應鋼琴琴鍵上的一個白鍵)
Clefs assign individual notes to certain lines or spaces.
(譜號是指示某一個特定音符在五線譜上的位置的符號)
Two clefs are normally used: The Treble and Bass clefs.
(常用的兩個譜號是高音譜號和低音譜號)
First, we will discuss the Treble Clef (also called the G Clef).
(首先我們來看高音譜號(也被叫做G譜號))G譜號)
Uh-oh. We just ran out of room to place notes, what happens now?
(哦啊,五線譜不夠寫了,怎麼辦?)
With the ledger line drawn, we can place the A.
(上加一線後,就可以再寫一個A)
Next, let's discuss the Bass Clef (also called the F Clef).
(接下來,我們看一下低音譜號(也叫做F譜號))
The staff line in between the two dots of the clef is F.
(在低音譜號兩點間夾的那條線上寫的音符就是F)
We can now fill the rest of the staff with notes.
(把剩下的地方填好)
Notice how the two clefs are “joined” by the C (shown in red).
(注意看,C所在的那條線就是剛剛去掉的線(用紅色表示),它連接了兩個譜表)
