Learn the Names of Musical Notes & Clefs

If you play or sing the notes in order, starting with A, you would restart with "A" after "G," only at a higher pitch. For example: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C and so on. Eight notes in a row (in this case, from "A" to "A") are called an octave.

And, as notes can reach in sound from a profound bass (very low) to a high soprano, they're kept apart in written music by two different clefs: treble and bass.

As a common rule, notes that follow a treble clef reach from mid-level up to very high in tone. Notes that follow a bass clef range from mid-level down to the deepest of tones.

NOTE: There is also a "C" clef, which is occasionally used for cello, tenor trombone, bassoon and viola. Even so, we'll soley be discussing the treble and bass clefs.
