picture description: I am describing the writing of musical notes. Music that you hear consists of sounds that are created by some musical instrument or the singing voice of a human being. Each sound has been assigned a particular designation on a scale. These scales can be written on a piece of paper. There are five horizontal lines to a scale. Symbols that represent each note are drawn at particular locations on the scale to indicate which sound should be played on the musical instrument or sung by a human being. Continuing sets of horizontal lines drawn underneath one another down the paper are used to record all the notes or sounds that make up a song.
