Earlier versions of the staff had varied numbers of lines.
Traditional stories as to how using lines came about, is part of Music History.
I’m here to share a fun Music History you a tale with you!
How the Music Staff Originated and Evolved
I am pretty sure that you know that tale means a story. In Old English “Talu” means, the action of telling a story. Tales recounted events, shared traditions, and even contained word origins relating to numbers.
When I was in school, some of my best teachers required that students write in the style of telling a story, or a tale. This enjoyable, creative-writing approach made memorizing information fun and easier to remember. Let me say this, while preparing the tale, I allowed myself some ‘artistic liberty’ in order to make the story more interesting. Who really knows? Maybe it could have happened in a similar way.
