Choose a lighter grey color to save more ink, as well. Recycle old paper... you know! If you plan on learning about music theory, it is always a good idea to have a bunch of blank staff paper ready to practice writing your music notes and exercises on. 

Add them to a pretty piano binder like one of these, and make your own music notebook/journal! And yeah, these free printable staff papers come without my logo or copyright. Just plain. Enjoy!
