Q: and here's a pic of what I've drawn, just so you know it's me. I'm sending it separately so that people can't pretend to be me in the future, since they won't have the information to. https://imgur.com/a/uhEcC
A: ok great. so your example shows 11 notes. they are all white keys on the keyboard. but the keyboard goes way higher and lower than that, all the notes could never fit into this one staff. so we need to specify what range we are in. actually there are only 2 commonly used range settings for the staff (the settings are called 'clefs') the most commonly used ones are treble and bass. let's look at treble for now. to specify that your staff is being used as a treble cleff, you need to put a treble clef symbol at the far left side of the staff, before the music starts. the treble clef symbol is crazy. good luck learning to draw it, but when you do learn it is fun. i usually start from the bottom, and draw a straight line up and then curve around and down. i think that is the easiest way to draw it. ok, so make a treble clef symbol on the left, and then make another staircase of notes, except this time start one lower than you started before (but what? there is no line there?) well make a tiny piece of a line, just big enough to house the note. then put the second note where your first note was in the previous example. make a total of 8 notes. your first and last note will be C. this is a C major scale. the lower C (the one you had to make a special line for) is called middle C. on a guitar, it is the first fret on the B string. on a bass guitar it is the 17th fret on the g string. on a piano it is somewhere in the middle of the piano. the frequency is about 262hz. let me know if you have got the scale written
