Hello all. I have an elementary question that I've googled to no avail, and is most certainly a simple answer--just one I don't know.

I'm looking at the intro to The Entertainer by Joplin. I notice in the 3rd bar there are notes that are 3 ledger lines below the treble stave. I'm not ashamed to say, I've been playing for 5 weeks now, happy with my progress, but I'm scratching my head over this one. A0 is MANY ledger lines below the bass clef, but that's to be expected. What "treble" or octave does one find a note "on" the third ledger line down from the treble clef? (between the two staves on the grand clef.)

Thanks so much.
Larry.

You could also print this picture and keep it close to the piano.



BTW Five weeks, and the Entertainer? That is very fast. But how about technique.... ?

Short answer to your question, my technique probably needs work.

Nice find!

I'm laminating it and going to do A Clockwork Orange with my eyelids until I can recite this in my sleep.

Thanks for tolerating the noob questions; but I assume the "gbdfa and aceg in the "inside" the bass clef set, and the "egbdf and "face" "inside" the treble is not included because this is an illustration of ledger line notes only, correct?

BTW, thank you SO MUCH for this. I'm laminating it and going to do A Clockwork Orange with my eyelids until I can recite this in my sleep.

That's correct, I'm pretty fluent with those notes, just didn't consider that picture might have been made to suit me. Now I understand. Awfully kind of you. Thanks!
