Lesson 5 The Grand Staff - Intro.

The Grand Staff puts the "left hand" and the "right hand" notes together on a page.  The left hand plays the notes on the bottom staff, the right hand plays the notes on the top.  Generally, at least for now. Up until now, the exercises I have played just showed one staff, either the Treble Clef for the right hand exercises, and the Bass Clef for the left hand exercises.   I'm sure music exists that require both hands to play the top staff, or the bottom staff, or both staffs.  But, for me, the beginner, it looks like the left hand will be playing the notes in the Bass Clef (bottom staff) and the right hand will play the notes in the Treble Clef (top staff).  This video shows my introduction to seeing both staffs on the same page and playing notes on each staff.  Also, I say the notes aloud as recommended by the book I'm using to learn: Alfred's Self-Teaching Adult Piano Course
