Today, I'll be discussing on the musical staff, Clef, Middle C and Ledger lines.                    The Musical Staff (or Stave)  The Musical Staff is the basic or foundation of music notations. The musical staff consists of 5 horizontal lines and four spaces. It is what the notes are represented on. The musical staff is a diagram on which musical symbols such as notes, sign, rest, clefs, sharp and flat are placed.  The Clef  According to "Wikipedia" A clef (from French: clef "key") is a musical symbol used to indicate the pitch of written notes.

Develop your passion through intensive learning that involves focused concentration and a sense of challenge. Recognize that “failure is a huge part of the enterprise.” 2. Great learners have learned that effort is more important than inborn ability. Kids with disabilities sometimes can deal with these through their other abilities and through persistence.
