Well I just acquired some sheet music and for each "set" of staffs, I'm not sure how to say it, there are 3 lines. I asked my piano teacher how to play it and he said the 2 bottom lines are for piano and top line is for vocals or another instrument. I said okay but then later I saw a person play the sheet music I acquired and it sounded like he was playing all 3 lines. Please help. To see what I mean here is the sheet music:

Please help if you can explain this or have any info about it!

look at the music. The top line is the vocal line, with the lyrics underneath. The top line is also doubled in the right hand piano line (middle line). Look at the notes. They are the same. Where they differ, the music is easy enough that you can fill in the different notes with your right hand (you just combine the top two lines in your head and play).

I'm not exactly sure but the top line is for vocals or other instruments, the middle line is the left hand (of the piano player) and the bottom line is the right. You can tell because the vocal line would be smaller if the piece was written for the piano

Your piano teacher is right - bottom 2 lines are piano and the top line is vocal or instrument. Looking at the music, though, I think the vocal part is doubled in the top line of the piano part, so that would be why you are hearing it.

If there is three staffs in one set, then play the first, second or third staff of each set in according order. Don't mix a (example) third staff of a first set with a second staff of a second set. So basically, stick with one staff, for each set. I had the same kind of thing in my advanced camarata class-for chorus.
