Music staff is a set consisting of five parallel horizontal lines where various types of music symbols are placed. Depending on how the staff is used, different symbols might be placed on it. The simplest form of this staff is a set of five horizontal lines with a treble clef (G clef) placed on its left. A grand staff, which is usually used by piano players, consists of two sets of staff with treble clef and bass clef placed on their left. It may also consist of one additional staff with bass clef. A percussion staff also consists of five horizontal lines, but it doesn’t use any clefs that indicate the pitch of particular notes.
