Western Staff Notation

Western staff notation is a system for writing music using five parallel lines and four spaces, each representing specific pitches. Notes are placed on these lines and spaces to indicate the sound’s pitch, with their position determining how high or low the note is. Additional symbols like sharps, flats, and naturals modify pitch, while shapes like circles and stems convey rhythm and duration. This standardized system allows musicians worldwide to read and interpret music accurately, communicate musical ideas efficiently, and perform compositions consistently across different contexts.
