This Music video introduces teachers to how pitch is represented on staff notation. It explains how notes are positioned on the lines and spaces of the stave, how the treble clef is used in primary music teaching, and how ledger lines extend the range of available pitches. The video also explores the role of the bass clef, shows how sharps and flats alter a note by a semitone, and explains how key signatures can simplify notation when sharps or flats are used consistently.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Music scheme – notes. It gives teachers clear guidance for explaining pitch, helping pupils understand the relationship between notation, clefs, and pitch height. By breaking down abstract concepts into accessible steps, it prepares teachers to confidently support children in reading music and recognising how written notes relate to what they hear and play.
