Melody - The Treble Clef


The most common clef is the TREBLE CLEF. The  Treble Clef started from an ornamental Latin letter “G”. One good way to remember this is that the line at the middle of the clef's "swirl" represents the note "G". It gives the clef another name of the “G Clef” because it shows where the note “G” is on the staff by circling the G line.

Treble Clef Transitions
The treble clef is used for instruments with a high pitch. Some of them are: piccolo, flute, clarinet, oboe, guitar, violin, French horn, saxophone, trumpet and piano.


Drawing the Treble Clef

1. Begin above the staff and draw the letter "J" through the staff, ending in the space below the staff.

2. Start at the top of the line and draw a "P" to line 4.

3. Continue to draw a "d" from line 4 (semi-circle to the left) all the way to line 1.

4. Continue to circle up to line 3 and curl around, finishing on line 2.

And for the spaces we spell F A C E.
