Which style to choose
- Empty staff: five lines with no clef. It works for any instrument; you draw the clef.
- Treble clef: for voice, flute, violin, guitar and the right hand on piano.
- Bass clef: for bass, cello, trombone and the left hand on piano.
- Piano: two staves joined by a brace, the upper one in treble clef and the lower one in bass clef.
- Tab: six lines, one for each string of the guitar.
How many staves per sheet
- 8 staves: wider lines and plenty of room between staves. Good for children, for lyrics and for chord names.
- 10 staves: the middle option, good for everyday practice.
- 12 staves: more music fits on the sheet. In the piano style, each system uses two staves.
Frequently asked questions
What is a staff in music?
A staff is the set of five lines and four spaces where notes are written. The higher a note sits on the staff, the higher it sounds.
What does the treble clef show?
The treble clef marks the note G on the second line of the staff, counting from the bottom. The other notes are read from there.
What does the bass clef show?
The bass clef marks the note F on the fourth line, counting from the bottom, between the two dots of the clef. It is used for low sounds.
How do I read a tab sheet?
Each line is a string: the top line is the thinnest string and the bottom line is the thickest. The number on a line tells you which fret to press; zero means the open string.
Can I use it in music class?
Yes. The sheets are free to print and use at home, at school or in a music school.
