i think i know the answer... its the grand staff. you were probably doing a crossword puzzle from your teacher. Yeah, Im doing it too.
The five lines that the music is written on is called the stave, or the staff for bass and treble! :)
They aren't. There are 4 clefs; treble, alto, tenor, bass and you don't combine them into one stave.
The piano is one instrument that has the range to bridge the two staffs--bass and treble.
When you are speaking of singing voices, the usual four are (from high to low) soprano, alto, tenor and bass. So alto does sing higher than bass. When you are speaking of written staffs, the two staffs are treble (higher) and bass (lower). An alto singing part is typically written on the treble staff; but the alto range extends down (using ledger lines below the staff) into notes that can also be written on the bass staff.
Middle C sits in the middle of the grand staff. It is usually depicted on the treble clef staff but can also be written on the bass staff.

Middle C

Middle C, which is one ledger line below the treble staff, and one ledger line above the bass staff.
It depends which staff it is. If it is the treble cleff (staff) the answer is E, if it is the Bass cleff, the answer is G.
A musical staff.... For Bass and Treble
(treble/alto/bass/tenor) cleff
Clefs do not have 'sounds'. They are merely tools to indicate where on the musical stave notes are to be placed. However, the treble clef 'places' higher notes than the bass clef. If a clef is placed in the middle of the staff, then the notes that follow that clef are of that clef. For example, if the bass clef is placed on the treble staff, the notes that follow it are to be interpreted as "bass clef" notes and played using lower notes on the piano. The opposite is true if the treble clef is placed on the bass staff.
