What does musical notes look like?

Answer 1

Look at a score, assuming the standard G and F clefs. The upper staff is the G clef. The center line of the G clef is where you place the note B. It can be any kind of note-- quarter note, whole note, eighth note, etc. But any note on this center line will be "B". So, A will be any note in the space right under B. The notes alternate in this way: line-space-line-space. For reference, the bottom line of the G clef is the note E.

On the F clef, the lower of the two, the note A appears twice; the lower one is an octave in pitch lower than the upper one. The top line of the F clef is where an A would go. There is a space between the bottom two lines of the F clef; that space is also "A", an octave below the one on the top line of the F clef.

On a keyboard, you see that the black keys are grouped in two's and three's. Go to any group of 3 black keys. The white key between the middle and upper two black keys is A. The white key between the middle and lower two black keys is G. The middle black key in this group of 3 could be either A flat, one key down from the A we just identified, or it could be G sharp, one key up from the G we just identified.

Answer 2

if you mean pictures of recorders, all the holes should be covered but the one 4th from the bottom 2 holes (where your pinkie finger goes) count that hole then count another 3 up and that hole should be uncovered for an F#.

Answer 3

F is in the first (bottom) space on the treble clef. The shape of a note depends on the length of time it is being held for. (Ex: empty circle = whole note, 4 beats; empty circle with stem = half note, 2 beats; darkened circle with stem = quarter note, 1 beat; darkened circle with a stem and a flag = eighth note, 1/2 beat). See link.

Answer 5

The actual notes look most like circles that are either filled in or empty. They sometimes have lines coming out of them. The lines sometimes have other lines coming out of them. They're mostly just circles, though.
