    True, the top staff is intended to be sung, but if you are at a comfortable skill level (and uncomfortable singing), you could combine the bottom two staves into one hand (the left hand) and play the vocal line with your right.

    Good luck!

    My vote goes to Andua. Some music is written on three staffs (staves) to isolate the melodic line, and all the staves are played. An example would be Shumann's Romance in F#. The melodic line is carried mainly on the treble and first bass clef. So, not only are there three staves, you have to play in six sharps interspersed with several double sharps. To rub salt in the wound, Schumann wrote at the top of the score, "Einfach"! (Simple) Simple indeed.

    Sometimes is the music is very detailed, or there is a great range in the hands piano music is spread out over three staves and you play them all, but in this case the top stave is the vocal line and you only have to play the bottom stave.

    The top staff is a vocal line. That is meant to be sung, not played. Almost all popular piano/vocal music is written this way.

    The top part is the actual melody, what she sings. The bottom two are what you should actually play on the piano, but it isn't melody. The best way to learn how to sing and play at the same time is to play the top treble and the bottom bass.

    You play the bottom two lines, because the top line is for voice only. The top line is the singer, and the bottom two are the piano

    ... ah, the _other_ question that gets asked annoyingly often.

    Vocal line.

    ... oh, and can we spell "clef" properly, along with identifying a staff and a system?

    the third, topmost cleft is the melody or what she actually sing and the bottom two are what she plays on the piano.
