    Two staves, two hands

    Piano music is written on two staves at once: the right hand above in the treble clef, the left below in the bass clef. Middle C sits between them on a short line of its own, which is why it turns up at the bottom of one stave and the top of the other.

The What the marks mean names the marks themselves, and the Little tools are there when you want to try something out.
