    Grand Staff and Keyboard

    This document examines the relationship between the treble and bass clefs by adding an imaginary middle C line to visualize the grand staff. It shows how the clefs relate to the piano keyboard and note frequencies, with frequencies doubling or halving with each octave change. These numbers can explain why some musical combinations are consonant while others are dissonant.

    Here we take a close look at the relationship between the treble and bass clefs, adding this imaginary

    middle C line to let us clearly see the GRAND STAFF. We also see the relationship between the clefs,
    the piano keyboard and the frequencies of the notes.
    The frequencies (in hertz) shown on the left represent the cycles per second that each pitch vibrates at. With every jump of an
    octave, the frequency is either doubled or halved, depending on direction. These numbers can explain to us why some
    elements of music are the way they are - why certain combinations of notes are consonant and others are dissonant.
