#TheoryThursday: The Great Staff

Did you know that music was originally written using only lines? Each note had its own line. Then they decided to use the spaces between them too.

Then they went a little further... check out the great staff here. 11 lines in total! So, to make it easier to read, we use five at a time.

The symbol on the left, or clef, tells us where on the great staff we are.

Happy Thursday!
