STEMS: are the lines to the side of the dots on the music staff: They are essentially the 'ta's and the 'tee tee's, the rhythm names we learned in yellow class.
STEM RULE: if the dot is higher than the middle line, then the stem goes down to the left of the dot. And opposite for if a note is below the middle line. If a note is on the middle line, the stem can go either way, doesn't matter.

'doh' on staff
If 's' is on a line, 'mi' is on the line underneath and 'doh' is on the next line underneath. There three notes are called a 'TRIAD'. They always have the same positioning in relation to each other, no matter which note 'doh' is on.
