Why Two Treble Clef Lines on Piano Sheet Music?

by Kjirsten

I am just starting up piano again I played for years and now I have forgotten a few things. the sheet music for "If I aint got you" by Alicia Keys On the second page when the lyrics start I am confused why there are 3 music lines two treble and one bass I tried to figure it out and if i try to play all three it just doesn't work with the hands.. is one line for a second time around (repeat) anywys Im not sure hope you can help me! I hope to hear from you.

ANSWER

Hi, Kjirsten--

The top treble clef line is for the vocalist. You will probably find that the notes in this line are incorporated into the 2nd treble clef line.

If you just play the bottom treble clef and the bass clef lines, you should be fine. Let us know if you have any more questions.

Best Wishes!
Lynne

but what if you sing as you play the song would you play the 1st treble cleft line?

ANSWER

When you sing, there is really no need to play the melody. Most singers just play chords and a bass line to accompany themselves.
