Also, why are the notes arranged on the lines differently? Is that wher you put your fingers to play?
Sorry, I'm a beginner and can't find this explanation.

If you can, the best way to learn is with a good teacher. Try clicking on Music Education on the upper left-hand side of this site. It will get you started.
We are very lucky to have some very qualified members on this forum and I'm sure that they will try to help you.
Good luck and keep in touch.

If the note is on or above the third line, the stem points downward. There are many conditions when this is not true, however.
I think SuzyQ gave you some good advice when she said you should find a good teacher. Good luck!

well, as one person on here said, it depends on where the note is on the lines. also, it's placed on the different lines because that tells you what note(s) to play(except in the case of geberal percussion or drumset music, which uses different instruments such as bass drum, snare, congas, ect., and will normally tell you which one to play on that line)
