Exercises

• Note recognition on single clef staves (treble, bass and alto) Name these notes:

Page 6 The treble and bass clefs are the most common as they can, in conjunction, easily represent most of the pitch range that is commonly used. The treble and bass clef staffs are often combined, creating what is referred to as the grand staff. The two five-line staffs are often shown as being connected with a brace, to indicate that they are to be understood together. Much piano music is notated using the grand staff.
