When you first start reading sheet music you will start with the treble clef notes. Piano teachers starts with the treble clef in the right hand to teach students right hand notes.
In order to read music you must understand the concept of clefs.
Clef
A clef is a symbol used to determine the pitch of a specific note or range of notes. There are two main clefs that musicians use to determine the pitch of a note. These are the treble and the bass clef.
Treble Clef
he treble clef generally represents the notes ranging from middle C on the piano and up. The treble clef can also represent lower notes as well. This clef is used to signify what the right hand plays on piano.
This clef can also be called the G Clef. This is because a G note runs through the center of the symbol. the bottom part of the sybol looks a little like a G if you use your imagination.
