Bass Staff
Click for MenuThe Bass Staff is the second most common staff in music. It is used by all instruments. It is also where the lowest notes are written. On its lines are the notes G, B, D, F, and A and on its spaces are A, C, E, and G. When singing multipart music, male voice parts are often written here, especially for four part songs.

Thank you for Participating
Treble Staff
Click for MenuThe Treble Staff is the basic staff in music. Its lines have the notes E, G, B, D, and F while its spaces have F, A, C and E. This is where higher notes are written. When singing multi part music, female voice parts are written here. Occasionally, one will see an 8 below the Treble Clef. This signifies that the tenor part is on this line, and should be played an octave lower than written.
Rest Length

Rest lengths are divided the same way as notes. Refer to the picture on the right. (Top is a whole rest, bottom is sixteenth rests.)Tempo
