this actually isnt my picture, i found it while googling for a Bass clef image. i was basically drawing the same thing xD
and i put in the red xD
but anyways, the notes are placed on their corresponding spaces and lines. the notes on lines and spaces OFF of the staff are placed on "ledger lines" which are just lines to help state notes on a staff.

the farther up the staff, the higher the note's pitch.
now, when you correlate the staff to a piano, it basically transfers exaclty

when it refers to middle C, its specifically refering to the C note pitch at the very center of both the piano and full range of sound. so if you can find the middle C on a piano, you'll know which notes represent which keys, and how they will sound. on a piano, each key represents a specific note. you could probly just google an image of middle C and it will show you specifically where it is.

now you can read the pitches on both scales and then play it on the piano.

an octave is 1 set of 8 notes. the first and last note in an octave will be the same name, but one will be higher than the other. if you sing to yourself, do re me fa sol la ti do, you've just sang an octave! an octave is named for its 8 pitches.(octo-meaning 8)

when you see 8va, or 16va on a piece of music, it simply means an octave higher or lower than whats being played. so if you played middle C, then played C 8va, it would simply be the next C note higher, or the third space up from the bottom of Treble clef. 16va is 2 octaves higher.

ryhthm is also part of reading music. what a note looks like will tell you how long to play it for. but we'll get into that another day

for now, just practice playing notes on a piano and naming their pitches
