    Correct Answer
    B. 5
    Explanation
    A staff is made up of five lines. In Western musical notation, a staff consists of five horizontal lines that are evenly spaced. These lines provide a visual representation of the pitch of musical notes. Each line and space on the staff represents a specific note, allowing musicians to read and interpret sheet music accurately. Therefore, the correct answer is 5.

    Music notes are named by letters of the alphabet.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Music notes are indeed named by letters of the alphabet. In the Western musical notation system, the notes are represented by the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. These letters are used to identify the pitch of each note on the musical staff. Each letter corresponds to a specific pitch, and by combining them with other musical symbols, melodies and harmonies can be written and performed. Therefore, the statement "Music notes are named by letters of the alphabet" is true.

    Which clef is used for higher pitches?

    Correct Answer
    treble, Treble
    Explanation
    The treble clef is used for higher pitches. It is also known as the G clef because it curls around the line representing the G above middle C. This clef is commonly used for instruments with higher ranges, such as the piano's right hand, violin, flute, and soprano voice. It indicates that the notes written on the lines and spaces of the staff are higher in pitch compared to other clefs like the bass clef. "Treble" and "Treble" are both correct spellings for the same clef.
