One ledger line
One more look at what you missed.
Below the staff, notes get short lines of their own.
These are ledger lines: small pieces of extra staff, drawn only where a note needs one.
Middle C sits on one ledger line, below the staff.
It is the C near the middle of the piano. One short line, with the note sitting on it.
Hear middle C, then E on the bottom line.
No sound? Check your volume, and that your phone is not on silent.
Play middle C, then walk up to E.
On this keyboard, middle C is the first key, just left of the two black keys.
A short line of its own under the staff: C. The bottom line of the staff: E.
D sits between the ledger line and the staff.
Middle C on its short line, D hanging just under the staff, E on the bottom line.
