Reading music

For an odd-numbered interval (3, 5, 7, 9), both notes will be on lines, or both on spaces. Two lines or spaces apart is a third, three is a fifth, etc... 

An even-numbered interval will be on a line and space (2,4,6,8,10). A note, an octave up or down from a space, will be on a line., and vice versa.  C on the bass clef and on the treble will be mirror images.
