Musical notes

[Admin]

So whatcha call these notes, and do they mean the same whichever instrument you play?

I know the left one is called a G-clef, but I have forgotten what it was used for/represented/whatever.

The notes don't have a pitch, since they're not on any lines. Those only show the duration of the note.
Green- Quarter note
Yellow- Eigth note
Pink- Sixteenth note
Blue- Treble (G) Clef

Clefs serve as a sort of reference point, by which the other notes revolve around. i.e. Even if two notes are in the same position, they have different pitches if they have different clefs.

i've never understood the octave thing... how do you know which one to play on?

The position of the note tells you. (?)
Sorry, not quite sure what you're trying to say.

Trying to learn notes is making my head and eyes spin.

I would love to hear the Sinistral theme (from Lufia 2) on violin.

I don't think anyone's ever done that before.

I'll try to work on that, but I don't know when I'm going to be done.

EDIT:
I got most of the music down. All that's left to do is to record it, but all I've got is a digital camera.

on the piano there are a whole ton of keys, but not enough lines to fit them all. how do you know which key to hit? the low pitched ones or the high pitched ones?

[njayhuang]

Piano music uses both treble and bass clef. Treble is for right, bass for left. If the music doesn't fit, just add ledger lines to the notes.

Any progress?

[njayhuang]

I'm procrastinating
I'm working on it.
The problem is that digital cameras get really bad quality sound so I have to record sound with a mic.
