There are two most commonly used staffs. These are called the treble staff (the higher staff with the swirly, twirly symbol), and the bass staff (the lower staff with a not so swirly symbol). The treble and bass staff have five lines and each. There are four spaces between these lines. The treble staff has names as follows... _____ F(line) E(space) _____ D(line) C(space) _____ B(line) A(space) _____ G(line) F(space) _____ E(line) The bass staff has names as follows... _____ A(line) G(space) _____ F(line) E(space) _____ D(line) C(space) _____ B(line) A(space) _____ G(line) I'm sorry if this looks confusing, but it is hard to show without images.
