A ledger line is a line on a musical stave that you insert when a note is written above or below the stave. For example, in the treble clef, a ledger line is seen when a note is written below middle C, or above the second A above middle C.

How do you read outer ledger lines piano?

The ledger lines are an extension of the staff. On the Treble Cleff, the highest line is the note "F". The space at the top of the Treble Cleff going up is the note "G". The next note up requires a ledger line, and is the note "A" Going up again brings us to the space above the first ledger line which is "B". In the Bass Cleff, you go down the scale starting a G as the lowest line on the Staff. Then "F" in the space below, and the "E" note gets the first ledger line below the Bass staff. The second ledger line below is the note "C" An easy way to remember it is the ledger line between both staffs is middle C. Middle C only has one ledger line. Above and below the staff, the C notes have 2 ledger lines.
