Turn the Stave into Sound
Music on the page is just ink until you bring it to life. The stave — five lines and four spaces — is your roadmap. Pianists read two of them together: Treble (G) Clefon top and Bass (F) Clef below. Instead of cramming every note into memory, you’ll learn a handful of guide notes that anchor everything else. From those anchors, every other note is just a step or a skip away, turning the stave into actual sound.
Turn Your Words into Music
Type any phrase and watch it come alive on the stave. Letters become notes, and you can hear your own words as melody. A playful, one-of-a-kind way to connect language and sound.

The Grand Stave joins Treble and Bass with a brace. Below are the key guide notesyou’ll use to orient yourself quickly. We’ll start with the obvious ones and walk outward.
G on G-Clef and F on F-Clef
The Treble Clef’s swirl curls around the G line (second line from the bottom), so any note on that line is a G. The Bass Clef’s two dots frame the F line (second line from the top), so any note on that line is an F. These are the quickest “where am I?” landmarks.
Middle C
The main anchor is Middle C. On Treble it’s one ledger line below; on Bass it’s one ledger line above — the same piano key. It connects both staves and both hands.
C in Each Clef
Each stave has a comfy C inside: Treble’s C is the second space down from the top; Bass’s C is the second space up from the bottom. They’re symmetrical and give you a natural hand position on the keyboard.
Top F & Bottom G
Two more anchors: the top line F on Treble and the bottom line G on Bass. They frame the upper and lower edges of your everyday reading range.
High C & Low C
The outer anchors are High C (two ledger lines above Treble) and Low C(two ledger lines below Bass). Together with Middle C, they bracket your reading range.
Guide Notes Summary
Your anchors are: Low C, Bottom G, Bass F, Bass C, Middle C, Treble C, Treble G, Top F, High C. Learn these well — every other note is just a step (next white key) or a skip (jump one) away. You don’t need to name every note to play it — count from the nearest guide note and press the key.
Practice: find guide notes on the keyboard
- Find the closest guide note.
- Count steps or skips up/down.
- Play the matching key.
One short session a day (25 notes) is plenty. Start with Guide Notes mode, then branch out.
Sharps & Flats (Quick Intro)
A sharp (♯) raises a note one half step (to the right). A flat (♭) lowers a note one half step (to the left). Play any white key, then its neighboring black key: right = sharp, left = flat.
