Music Theory (How to make sense of those dots on the page)
Treble Clef
The Treble or G Clef gives us the position for the note G on the second line. The Clef draws a ring around the second line to show us.
The other notes, higher and lower than G, run in order up and down the Stave. G is on the line, A is in the space above, B is on the next line, and so on.
Tricks for remembering lines in treble clef: Every Good Boy Does Fine OR Even George Bush Drives Fast Tricks for remembering spaces in treble clef: the spaces spell FACE
Bass Clef The Bass or F Clef also gives the position of one note, this time F on the fourth line. The big ‘dot’ of the Clef marks the note.
The other notes, higher and lower than F, run in order up and down the Stave. F on the line, G in the space above, and so on.
Tricks for remembering lines in bass clef: Good Boys Do Fine Always OR Good Basses Don’t Fear Anything Tricks for remembering spaces in bass clef: All Cows Eat Grass

Minor Intervals are one ½ step smaller than major intervals
Diminished Intervals are one ½ step smaller than minor or perfect intervals
Augmented Intervals are one ½ step larger than major or perfect intervals
Ascending major and perfect intervals may be calculated by considering the lower note of the interval as the tonic of a major scale
