MUSIC NOTES







clef: graphical symbol placed on the left of the stave which

establishes the relationship between particular note names and their

position on the staff lines and spaces (i.e. tells us which pitch

"class" that stave belongs to).

* treble G-clef
* bass F-clef
* alto C-clef
* soprano and mezzosoprano C-clef
* tenor C-clef
* baritone C-clef, baritone and subbass F-clef
* French violin G-clef
* percussion or indefinite pitch clef - not shown

At the suggestion of Nick Meiners, we show the relative pitch

positions of the commonly used clefs

G-clef (e.g. treble clef) marks G above middle C
C-clef (e.g. alto clef) marks middle C
F-clef (e.g. bass clef) marks F below middle C
