Music is represented by 'Musical Notation'. It it traditionally written on a 'clef' that corresponds to the range the instrument plays at. It consists of five horizontal lines that "notes" (which appear as small circles with tails) sit on, or in between. There are other miscellaneous pieces of notation that indicate ornaments to the piece.
