Ledger Lines:
Ledger Lines are those lines you may have seen above and below the stave.
They are used to indicate notes that appear outside the notes we have on the stave.
Middle C is a prime example of this:
E
B
Middle
C
A
You would NOT need the ledger
Line above the note of 'B' here
B
A
Do not be afraid of notes on ledger lines as all you need to do is count up or down
Them like climbing a ladder. Just count the lines and spaces.
Middle C is always easy to recognise and all you need to do to find the note next to Middle C
In this example is count backwards through the 'Musical Alphabet' (A-G) counting the lines
and spaces.

Transposition:
Transposition is where you are moving notes in a piece of music up or down
to another pitch.
For Grade 3 you will only be:
1) Moving a melody DOWN one octave from the Treble Clef to the Bass Clef.
2) Moving a melody UP one octave from the Bass Clef to the Treble Clef.

Grouping in Compound Time:
A general rule of thumb when grouping in compound time is to group in 3's.
=
NOT
Try to think in 3's and when using rests
And try to make 3 quaver (eighth) notes
