From The Piano Keys.

Ledger lines confuse more piano students than almost anything else in music reading — especially adults who can read music but feel thrown off by notes that sit above or below the staff. But don’t worry, I’ve got you!

In this video, I walk you through:

what ledger lines actually are

why they exist in music notation

how they connect the treble and bass clefs

and how to easily amd quickly read music that has ledger lines

You’ll see how the five-line staff works like a grid, how clefs define note patterns, and why ledger lines aren’t separate from the staff — they’re simply a continuation of it.

If you’re an adult returning to piano, or learning for the first time, my entire channel is designed to give you the real tools you need to reach your music goals..

I teach real technique, real musical understanding, and real-world application — without hacks, gimmicks, or any expectation that you magically “go from beginner to pro.”
