Theory 4- Clef

There are many Clefs in music, but you will most likely run into two or three. A clef is a musical symbol used to indicate the pitch of written notes. Below are a few examples and their names.

This is the "G Clef" or " Treble Clef." This is used for higher voices

This is the "Modified G Clef"

The 8 attached to the bottom means it is 8 notes, or one octave below a normal G Clef,

An 8 above would mean the inverse. This is used mostly for the tenor voice to substitute for the C Clef.

This is the "C Clef" or "Tenor Clef" and was primarily used for the tenor voice until proven obsolete and is now used for Viola.. (I put it up for fun!)

This is an "F Clef" or a "Bass Clef." This is used for low voices
