Question

What direction does the pitch go in this image?

a staff with four notes; from the bottom, B third line, C third space, D fourth line, E fourth space


Down
Up
Up, then down
It stays the same

Answer 1

To determine the direction of the pitch in the staff containing the notes B, C, D, and E, let's analyze the sequence of notes:

- B (on the third line)
- C (in the third space, above B)
- D (on the fourth line, above C)
- E (in the fourth space, above D)

The notes go from B to C (up), then from C to D (up), and from D to E (up).

Since all the notes are ascending, the overall direction of the pitch is:

**Up**.
