Middle C, G above middle C, F below middle C in Music Theory

Staff music has certain important notes as landmarks. These are

• G above middle C
• Middle C
• F below middle C

These three notes bear the respective special names and these are frequently referred to in music theory and analysis.

The middle line of the “Grand staff of eleven lines” is a C note – C4. This is called the middle C for its being the middle line of this staff. The “Grand Staff” incorporates middle C as a note on the line just below the lowest printed line of the upper G-clef staff, and as a note on the line just above the highest printed line of the lower F-clef staff. Thus middle C is incorporated in between the two sets of staff lines.


The F note in the lower staff, on which the F-clef sits is thus the “F below middle C” and the G of the upper staff on which the G-clef sits is thus the “G above middle C.”
