In this video, you will learn the location of the reference notes for the main musical clefs, along with their respective octaves. The corresponding octave will be indicated above the staff, in parentheses, showing the exact position of the reference note.
The main clefs used in sheet music are:
- Treble Clef: Used for instruments with mid-to-high-range sounds, such as the violin, flute, and guitar.
- Bass Clef: Used for instruments with low-range sounds, such as the double bass, tuba, and bass trombone.
- Alto Clef: Used for instruments with mid-range sounds, such as the viola and bassoon.
- Percussion Clef: Used for percussion instruments such as bass drum, snare drum, and cymbals.
These clefs determine how notes will be read and played depending on the instrument’s frequency range.
