Blank Music Staff Paper (No Clefs)

As shown to the right, you'll find two styles of blank music staff paper - one with larger margins at the bottom and top (10 staves), and the other with minimal margins (12 staves).

These are perfect for a multitude of purposes, whether writing music for a solo instrument, for orchestration, for piano, for music theory classes, or other music scoring needs.

Blank Music Staff Paper with Treble and Bass Clefs

These are great for writing music for piano or using for music theory classes, for example.

Printing These Music Staff Paper Files

All of the printable music paper on this page is designed for a printer's typical default “Portrait” setting using U.S. letter-size paper (8-1/2"x11").

Printing Tips:

For best results, use your printer's highest print quality settings and high quality paper. I've also found that the PDF format prints the sharpest and most clean, but your own results may vary.

Important Note:

Printers can widely vary, so I suggest experimenting with all formats to see which provides the better results for your particular printer. I've tested with several printers and computers, and I've also received much positive feedback from visitors that the music staff paper prints out just fine with no adjustments needed to printer settings. Sorry, but I cannot offer individual assistance with your computer and printer - it's best to check your printer's manual for assistance if needed.
