Counting 3 spaces up, you'll find High C.
Counting 3 spaces down, you'll find Low C.

Ready for an easy exercise?
Find the 3 C's on the Keyboard.

Step 02 | Middle B-C-D

Once you get a feel for High and Low C, you'll be able to identify the neighboring tones - namely B and D.

Exercise 02 | Using the G clef

Locate the keys on your keyboard/piano.

Step 03 | FG on both clefs

What are the clefs for?

The G 𝄞 clef tells you were G is (right hand).
The F 𝄢  clef tells you were F is (left hand).

Notice that the G line is the 2nd line above middle C, and the F line is the 2nd line below.

Exercise 03 | Find the Keys

In this exercise it's important to notice whether the F or G are either above or below middle C!

Step 04 | FG + High, Mid and Low C

Use the shape and position of the Clefs as a memory aid. Remember:
‍
"The G 𝄞 clef tells you were G is (right hand).
The F 𝄢  clef tells you were F is (left hand)."

Make sure you dominate the previous exercises before trying this one.

Exercise 04 | Find middle C-E-G

Tell the difference between F, G, C that are either above or below middle C.

Step 05 | 4ths and 5ths

Remember the intervals in the Basic Level. Now, we'll expand our recognition abilities with two new intervals.

Look carefully at their shape and compare it between them.

Exercise 05 | Find the Keys

Above you can see the shape of the 4ths and 5ths.

Now lets have a Interval party with all of them:
2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th.
‍
Remember to look at their shape.

Step 05 | F line to G line - Range

In this step, you'll use the skills you acquired in Basic Level, which includes the notes surrounding middle C.

Exercise 05 | Find the Keys

Recognize the notes on this range.

Step 08 | Low C to High C - Range

Congratulations! You are on your way to becoming a very capable musician- with the ability to read any music that comes your way.

Now it's time to put it to the test.
The first diagram below is to help remember the landmarks you'll use to identify the notes.
