Template 1: Bass Clef Sheet Music

Each five-line staff in this pattern begins with an F clef or bass clef. The bass clef is used for low notes, that is, notes below middle C. The F clef name is used because the bass clef indicates where the F note is on the staff lines. The bass clef is an incredibly useful tool for musicians for several reasons. It expands the range of notes and visually indicates which parts to play with which hand. As a rule, the piano sheet is divided into two parts with treble and bass clefs. This is a visual indication of which notes should be played with the right hand and which with the left. The bass clef indicates the notes to be played with the left hand, and the treble clef notes with the right hand. Use the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM music notation software to record your music on a sheet of music.

Template 2: Key Signatures

This template includes flat and sharp key signatures depicted on different musical staffs. Key signatures are visual symbols, which convey a great deal of information. They indicate which notes are to be played as sharps or flats in the music. As a rule, the note can have from one to seven sharps or flats, which are drawn and then played respectively. The note indicated as sharp or flat in a key signature is played that way in each octave. The indicated number of flats or sharps tells the musician what key the music is in. Sharps indicate that the notes need to be played higher in a given key signature. In turn, flats are the low notes in a given key signature. If there are no flats or sharps in a key signature, the note is perceived as C major or A minor. This can also indicate that pitches can be further notated with accidentals as required.

Template 3: Piano Sheet Music

Clefs are visual musical symbols used in music notation to indicate what note is found on each line of the staff. The clefs indicate the specific names of displayed notes. There are used several types of clefs in music: treble clef, french violin clef, baritone clef, bass clef, sub-bass clef, alto clef, tenor clef, mezzo-soprano clef, soprano clef, octave clefs, neutral clef, and tablature. The treble clef and bass clef are the most commonly used clefs. This piano sheet music template includes the Grand Staff with G-clef (treble clef) and F-clef (bass clef). The staff indicated with the treble clef is used for higher sounding notes, which are usually played with the right hand. In turn, the bass clef indicates the lower sounding notes, which are usually played with the left hand. This division is visual and useful for musicians. Use this template to make piano sheet music fast and easily.

Template 4: Treble Clef Sheet Music

This blank sheet music template is a classic piano sheet with a treble clef or G-clef at the start of each staff of the music sheet. The clef is the most important musical symbol. The treble clef is the most common and popular clef in music, which is the first clef learned by music students. It notes the musical notes above middle C. The treble clef is used for many instruments including piano, violin, guitar, trumpet, and many others. Being used in the music sheet for the piano, it indicates which pitch should be played. The treble clef shows music played by the right hand. As a rule, after the treble clef, you see the notes of an upper range of pitch. The G-clef is usually placed on the second line of the staff. A G-clef placed on the first line is called the French violin clef and is very rarely used nowadays.

Example 1: For Elise, by Beethoven

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the combination of libraries from the Piano Sheet Music Solution. An experienced user spent 15 minutes creating this sample.

This sample shows the music sheet with the musical composition For Elise written by German composer and pianist Ludwig van Beethoven. It is one of his most popular compositions, unfortunately, published not during his lifetime, but forty years after his death in 1867 when it was discovered by Ludwig Nohl. The identity of "Elise" is precisely unknown, but there are three suggestions. This composition could be intended for Elisabeth Rockel, Elise Barensfeld, or Therese Malfatti. Obviously "Elise" was an important and close person in Beethoven's life. The composition is designated as Poco moto that means "a little motion". The piece is played as a five-part rondo, with the form A-B-A-C-A. The distinctive feature of this composition is its beginning with the unaccompanied oscillation between the dominant E and its chromatic lower neighbor D-sharp. Due to it, the melody is recognizable anywhere with the first accords.

Example 2: Frederic Chopin's Prelude No. 7

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the combination of libraries from the Piano Sheet Music Solution. An experienced user spent 10 minutes creating this sample.

This sample shows the music sheet with the musical composition Prelude No. 7 written by Polish composer and pianist of the Romantic period Frederic Chopin, probably in 1836. It is one of 24 preludes in his Opus 28 for piano and the shortest of them. Prelude No. 7 is in the key of A major and includes only sixteen bars. This is Andantino in the style of Mazurka. The Prelude No.7 is considered one of Chopin’s most beautiful compositions. It is often used in productions and advertising videos worldwide. It is a calm, relaxing, graceful, delicate, and peaceful melody. The notes are displayed on the Grand Staff, which is a set of two music staffs of five horizontal lines and four spaces each one to represent different musical pitches. All symbols and notes vector images are taken from the predesigned ConceptDraw's libraries included in the powerful Piano Sheet Music solution.

Example 3: Frederic Chopin — Waltz in A Minor, B. 150

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the combination of libraries from the Piano Sheet Music Solution. An experienced user spent 20 minutes creating this sample.

This sample shows the notes on the music sheet for Waltz in A Minor, B. 150. It is a composition written by Frederic Chopin for piano between 1843 and 1848. It was published first after his death by Jacques Maho and only over 100 years later, in 1955, correctly under Chopin's name. Because of the lack of the opus number, it was designated by Brown catalog number B. 150. The composition is structured in rondo form marked Allegretto. It is short, 56 bars long and technically easy, but at the same time includes the arpeggio, trills, and grace notes. It is very emotional, ambitious, energetic, with a folkloric component, and danceable with a time signature of 4 beats per bar. This piece is a minor scale based on A (A Minor) with the pitches A, B, C, D, E, F, G. Waltz in A Minor begins as a sad melody, but in the middle of the piece, a modulation into A Major occurs, which is accompanied with a funny, joyful and lively melody to the end. The piece is played by the right hand, the left hand repeats chords.

Example 4: Keyboard Note Chart

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the combination of libraries from the Piano Sheet Music Solution. An experienced user spent 10 minutes creating this sample.

This sample shows the notes on the piano keyboard and their correspondence in the Grand Staff on the music sheet. A set of two staffs with five lines each, connected by a brace is called the Grand Staff. The upper staff is marked with a treble clef and the lower one with a bass clef. They include the notes for the right and left hands respectively. Music notes are displayed as slightly squashed circles on the lines or in spaces between them. The notes of the lines on the treble staff are placed starting from the lowest one as E G B D F. The notes laying in the spaces of the treble staff are F A C E. As for the bass staff notes, G B D F A notes correspond to the lines of the bass staff and A C E G to the spaces between the lines respectively, beginning from the lowest line. In addition, between two staffs lies the invisible line, which corresponds to the middle C. A short horizontal line called a leger line is used above or below the musical staff to extend a range of musical notes.

Example 5: Parts of a Musical Note

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the combination of libraries from the Piano Sheet Music Solution. An experienced user spent 5 minutes creating this sample.

This sample shows the musical note and explains its parts. The musical note can include 3 parts: note head, stem, and flag. The shape and texture of the note head and presence or absence of a stem and flags indicate the duration of a musical note. The note head usually has an elliptical shape and different placement on the musical staff that indicates the pitch. The note head colored completely black or white indicates the note value. Shorter note values have a stem attached to the note head and flags. The long notes have a rectangular shape of a note head. The double whole note has two vertical lines at each side of the elliptical note head. Square, diamond, and "x" shaped note heads are also used. A grace note has a small note head. The stem of the musical note indicates the voice for polyphonic music and may point up or down. The flag's view can differ for varied musical notes, from a single flag as on this sample to the flag composed of 6 elements, or be completely absent.

Example 6: Piano Keyboard

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the combination of libraries from the Piano Sheet Music Solution. An experienced user spent 5 minutes creating this sample.

This sample shows the piano keyboard, which produces sounds of different pitches when the keys are pressed. The piano keyboard includes 88 keys in white and black colors. 52 white long keys are used for the notes of the C major scale: C, D, E, F, G, A, B. 36 short black keys slightly lifted above the white keys are used for the "accidentals", sharps and flats. The keys are grouped in octaves, which are illustrated and numbered in this sample. Each octave is made of twelve semitones. The frequency doubles from the lowest semitone to the highest one and halves vice versa. So, the frequencies of two notes one octave apart differ twice. One semitone equals the twelfth root of two, this value is used to get the upper or lower frequency by multiplying or dividing the current frequency by this constant value. Middle C is marked with blue color and A440 (the 49th key tuned to 440 Hz) with yellow in this sample.

Example 7: Sonata No.6 in E Flat Major (JCF Bach)

This diagram was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using the combination of libraries from the Piano Sheet Music Solution. An experienced user spent 10 minutes creating this sample.

This sample shows the sheet music for the Sonata No. 6 written by Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach. It is one of 6 sonatas he wrote between 1703 and 1720, but published together more than 50 years after the composer's death. This sample only shows the first 16 bars of Sonata No. 6 in E-flat major. The same measures with minor changes are played at the end of the piece. Bach's Sonata No. 6 has an unconventional arch structure, consists of four movements, the tempo changes rapidly from fast to slow and back to fast and slow. The middle parts of the famous work include baroque trills, semi-quavers, syncopation. All 6 sonatas written by J.C.F. Bach are works in the form of a trio sonata. This means that they were written for two high melodic instruments such as the violin and bass, like a keyboard instrument such as the piano, cello or lute.
