Treble Clef

The treble clef is the first symbol that

appears at the beginning of every music
staff, usually in upper staff, is a treble
clef symbol. It is very important because
it tells you which note (A, B, C, D, E, F,
or G) is found on each line or space.

some musicians naturally use the term to refer to the C note in the middle of
their specific instrument's range, such in the piano.

 Scale
In a scale, from the Middle C up to its 8th note (which also C in different
frequency) is called an octave, a span of eight notes as measured on the
white notes of a piano keyboard; therefore, within a range of piano keys,
there are a lots of the same letter names but different in pitch whether it is
an octave lower or higher.

In this sense, a number of piano composers, as well as arrangers used this

kind of musical style for certain change in mood and expression, contrast in
the different elements of music, and creating another sense of musicality
towards compositions.

Direction: Play the sequence following the fingering labeled in each note below.

Instruction:
a. Play first the pattern in a slow tempo with accuracy;
b. Then repeat the entire passage a little bit faster; and
c. Be precise in playing with the notes.

Practical Test No. 1

Bass Clef

The bass clef is the first large symbol on the bottom

staff, or bass staff, in piano music. The bass clef is
also called an F-clef, because it wraps around the
highest F note on the bass staff.

The bass clef governs bass notes, which fall

around middle C and below.

It is very useful component in music creation and practice, to understand

and synthesize whatever purposes it might be, whereas a range of piano
composers, as well as arrangers, help moving the entire composition into
such wonderful musical piece. Therefore, internalizing the function of staff
in note reading is basically well-designed to the beginners of piano study
to attain practical and operational note reading techniques.
Position of Notes on the Staff – pitch names are varying depending on the clef sign, but
easy to learn and remember because of their definite positions; their letter or pitch names are
constant in conditional of the clef sign, thus creating a prior knowledge in note reading as
schema in piano playing.

Mainly in treble clef, the following diagram configured the designated pitch names and sofa
syllables in the staff.

fa - fifth line
re - fourth line
ti - third line
sol - second line
mi - first line

Lines

mi - fourth space
do - third space
la - second space
fa - first space

Spaces

In the bass clef the following diagram configured the designated pitch names and sofa
syllables in the staff.

 Foundation in reading the bass staff will certainly help the piano playing skill
in many instances, for the most of piano musical pieces which are patterned
with the different kind and flow of music in accordance of the nature and
characteristics of a specific genre and style in a composition.

Working out with the bass staff by means of thorough note reading and
with the application on piano will aid a better piano study of an individual’s
education.
