The musical staff with notes is incomprehensible to children until they learn basic musical terms. The 5 main horizontal lines and additional extensions with notes located on them are called a staff. Notes are a representation of musical sounds.

Children may associate a staff with notes with steps or cubes. They also need to be taught what a treble and bass clef are. Familiarize them with information about note duration, rests, and scale.
Knowledge of octaves, tempo and chords will allow even a child who has just begun learning the musical staff and music in general to play simple melodies.
