Whenever you were finding out how to read and write, did your educator treat them as the very same task? Most likely not. Physically writing letters and learning to control a pen, is actually a different skillset than reading how particular letters join together to make a word.
For saxophone, staff notation is organised around something known as the treble staff. This contains a stave (the term for the lines) of five lines and four spaces. It is usually labelled with a treble clef (the squiggly thing at the beginning of the line)!
Notes can sit on a line or in a space. The vertical placement (height) of the note specifies the pitch. The higher up the stave, the higher the pitch. When the note would need to go higher or below the stave lines, we add mini lines for any note that is higher or lower. These lines are known as ledger lines.
When reading sheet music, we read from left to right. Now we understand what situation on the stave makes what note, we must have a second instruction from the printed symbol. We have to discover how long to hold the note for.
