The staff
Five lines and four spaces, and a clef at the start saying which note each one is. The treble clef curls its spiral right around the second line, which makes that line a G: everything else is counted from there, line, space, line, space. It is not an arbitrary system but a visual ladder: going up a line is going up a note. What is hard at first is not reading, it is no longer counting from C.

Why It is G. The treble clef curls its spiral around the second line from the bottom, which makes it a G: from there you count line, space, line, space.
