Cute.

Music humor... It's like math humor, I guess.

What, no clef? That could be a major 2nd, and no danger of Jaws.

i was taught to site read music in grade school, back in the late 60’s, and i was good at it.

the teacher would place a felt material note on to a felt board staff (high tech for mid to late 60’s)and would call on a student to sing that note, or reverse it, she would play the note and ask us to place it on the staff...

man, i wish i’d nvr lost that skill...

Very funny! Where can I print out a copy? I’ve just got to take it to choir and give it to our pianist and ask her to play it.

If you are using windows, you should be able to right click on the picture and select “print picture”. Your print driver will probably give you the option to have it fill the page.

Bon chance.

Music = math!
But this does need a clef at minimum. I guess it’s left to us to assume clef, key and time sig, which could be dangerous!

It’s written in the Treble clef on this page, yet it’s played by a double bass in the bass clef.

Please explain the joke (with all due apologies to the joke writer). I get the notation but not the end.

It's even more stressful when read in additive meter.

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week. Try the veal.

Either the G has to be a sharp or the A has to be a flat, but a key signature would solve that.

It has to be a minor second between the two notes, not a major one.

I think it's pretty obvious it's in the bass cleff.
