Music Joke for the Day: 

To Help Chase the BLUES away

Get it? 

This music joke is talking about

the high C's in music.

So, instead of saying the word "SEA"

We replace the "SEA" with the music letter "C".

The Treble Clef "C" scale looks like this

We start with the low "C" that looks like this

and then we end on the high "C"

The joke is also implying that Pirates are good singers

because they can sing the High "C's"  in music.

They started from the low "C"  clear up to the high "C" .

FURTHERMORE:

Whenever you see 8 notes in music that go from 

one letter and end with that same letter,

we call that an "OCTAVE".

The octave you see above is called the "C" scale

because it starts on a "C"  and ends on a "C" .

How many letters are there 

in the musical alphabet?

The letter "C"  also sounds like the word "SEA".

When you have words that sound alike 

but are spelled differently, 

We call them a "HOMONYM"
