Fascinating Fact:
Middle C sits on one ledger line below the staff. The space above is D, the bottom line is E.
In Specialist Music Theory Grade 1 Treble Clef Part 2, you’ll extend reading around middle C. You’ll practise stepping to the next notes, recognise where ledger lines appear, and connect note names to quick, confident sight-reading.
Key Terms
Treble clef (G clef): The symbol that curls around line two, marking it as the note G above middle C.
Ledger line: A short extra line added for notes just above or below the five-line stave.
Middle C: A reference pitch written on a single ledger line below the treble stave.
Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)
What notes come directly next to middle C in treble clef?
The note above middle C is D (the space between the ledger line and bottom line). The note below middle C is B (just beneath the ledger line).
How do I remember treble clef lines and spaces quickly?
Use mnemonics: spaces spell FACE (bottom to top). Lines are E–G–B–D–F, often remembered as “Every Good Boy Deserves Football.”
What is a ledger line and why is it used at Grade 1?
A ledger line extends the stave for high or low notes. At Grade 1, it helps you read middle C and nearby notes just outside the stave.
