Glad that explained treble clef is usually for the higher notes and bass clef usually for the lower notes, NOT right and left hands! Very clear and perfect pace.
It depends on what instrument or voice is being used to play/sing from the stave. In guitar, for instance, the treble clef tends to be the clef in use. Soprano/Treble and alto singers' parts also tend to be written wholly in treble clef even though they go below middle-C (especially alto). For instruments such as the piano, where both clefs are used, you only need think about changing clef if the amount of ledger lines (or sometimes sequence of notes using them) would otherwise be too confusing
*you are a really good teacher, and I have no idea why I had this video in my Watch Later list for the past 4+ years, I now finally watched it after taking a Intro to Music class in college and wow why did I take so long to watch it?* 😂
I had piano lessons for two years, and later, trumpet for the same length of time. Not once was this ever pointed out to me. The gap between the clefs was a kind of "vacuum" with the treble clef's middle C floating below the stave. And I don't think it was ever identified to me that this was actually middle C.
But why not 'move' the bass cleffed stave down another line so the letter names are analogous between the treble and base cleffed notes (like making E the note on the bottom line of each)?
Cool. I can't read bass clef as well as I can read treble clef but I'm getting there. Because I play guitar which is in treble clef so not as good w/ bass.
TheGamer361 The guitar transposes by the octave (at least, whilst in standard tuning), so the bottom E would actually equate in actual-sounding pitch to the E that is just below the bass-clef stave. However, the treble clef is used instead, notated an octave higher than a guitar actually sounds, in order to avoid too many ledger lines, particularly on the two highest strings.
If the entire piece contains more sharp or flat notes than natural, then that will be written there to tell you the entire piece is sharp, rather than cluttering the music with symbols everywhere. In this case, any natural notes have a seperate symbol that is similar to the sharp.
is there a ABRSM here in the Philippines ? OwO I'm a beginner .. I love Any instrument..Including the flute , violin and maybe heck all of them.. ^_^ I want to learn them how to play !! all of them that's why i'm watching your videos.. this is so great , it helps me a lot?! TNX @musictheoryguy YOU LET ME SEE WHAT I WANT BE !
I never learned how to read music well enough to play in real time cuz I think it is not a well designed system. 2 major changes I would have made are as follows: 1) Get rid of bass clef and treble clef and just have one "clef" which is 4 lines and 3 spaces with A at the bottom and G at the top. Then just indicate which octave you are playing in such as 3,4,5... So for example, C5 would be on the second lowest line and a 5 would be somewhere in the sheet music to indicate that is the octave intended. 2) Make the octaves transition on A, not on C. For example, in the current notation, it goes A1, B1, C2, D2... but I would like to see it go A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, F1, G1, A2, B2... We start the alphabet on A, not on C, so it makes sense
David James nice idea but the think is what if we have to play something like CGC, GDG, AEA, EBE, ... and you have to put a lot of that number to indicate which octave which is not necessary. It is even worse if you need to play octave on the piano ...

This gentleman has cleared the concepts 9 years ago. And few people are still struggling to teach this.

If you watch Freddie Mercury play Bohemian Rhapsody he actually crossess his right hand to over the left to play lower notes.

bro such a good straight to the point video thank you
Thank you for this video! Im taking music theory and this help me so much.
Thank you sooooo much. Just switched from trombone to baritone and needed to learn treble clef.
What a very crisp and clean explanation that was. Accept my thanks and my compliments.
i just learn portable keyboard. This is very meaningful for the basic of treble and bass clef and its relation of chord notes.
Thanks. :-)
I play a bass & am trying to learn & understand sheet music. And you just made it a hell of a lot easier.
Very well explained! I wish I had this video program so I could make more professional looking videos too!
Your videos are clearly explained and professionally presented. The video effects are superb. Thank you!
You are a brilliant teacher!
Excellant explanation of the Bass and Treble clefs. I am finding that I need to be familiar with both as I am learning to sing tenor in a chorus.
In my five year piano lesson nobody told me this! thanks...
Wow! Great connection between the keys
Since middle C is in the middle of the alto clef, does that mean the alto clef is hidden in between the treble and bass clef.
Correct!
so on the treble clef anything written below middle C may as well be written on bass clef- thank you
This is just what I needed thank you!
I had piano lessons for two years, and later, trumpet for the same length of time. Not once was this ever pointed out to me. The gap between the clefs was a kind of "vacuum" with the treble clef's middle C floating below the stave. And I don't think it was ever identified to me that this was actually middle C.
aha! very well explained. how important it is to have a nice teacher like you!
But why not 'move' the bass cleffed stave down another line so the letter names are analogous between the treble and base cleffed notes (like making E the note on the bottom line of each)?
Thank you. Excellent discussion. Much appreciated.
Thank you so much!! These videos are PERFECT 😁 you rock! I hope you have a great day!
this is excellent video, explains very well. thank you
Thank you for this video, I've jut learned how to translate trumpet parts into bass clef.
This is brilliant ;o) Finally I understand ... Thanks a bunch!
I like middle C. it falls in the middle line of alto clef.
If they both have different note names for spaces and lines, how do they manage to mesh together?
Great video. The best on this subject.
I wish you can make harmony classes.
Very useful! Never thought of it that way, thnx
Cool. I can't read bass clef as well as I can read treble clef but I'm getting there. Because I play guitar which is in treble clef so not as good w/ bass.

EXCELLENT LESSON FOR BEGINNERS !!!
Very clear very important
Thank you so much this really help me
Great lesson.
So helpful 🎉
I get it I get it I get it…! I actually understood it by your thumbnail
In the last example, I saw a # after the bass clef. What does that mean?
That's a sharp symbol, he has another video explaing key signatures (sharps and flats)
If the entire piece contains more sharp or flat notes than natural, then that will be written there to tell you the entire piece is sharp, rather than cluttering the music with symbols everywhere. In this case, any natural notes have a seperate symbol that is similar to the sharp.
My lowest note is a B under middle C. What instrument do I play?
your bird
Viola, cuz you're always out of tune (joking, also 7 years late)
Good Super explanation.Thanks.
thanks for the video it was very useful.
Are treble and bass the only clefs used?
not only but they are the most used one or popular
There is also alto clef used by violas, and over versions of them like tenor clef
Thank u i understand it now...👍👍👍👍
0:24 for my music class purposes! thanks!
Thank you!
is there a ABRSM here in the Philippines ?

this is so great , it helps me a lot?!
TNX @musictheoryguy YOU LET ME SEE WHAT I WANT BE !
The Tuba also plays both keys;)
very useful video, thank u very much;>
or just put a (8) under the treble ...? Just got to play cello parts and the fact than it's written in Bass and Tenor clef annoys me as hell.
This is what guitar does (using exclusively the treble clef with 8 below) *but* we have a lot of ledger lines above and below as a result.

I like dis teacher 🙃🙃🙃
I know
Sounds like he said penis in 1:17😂
😂😂😂
its pianist lol
aaliyah miller i think we know lol
BANDDUDEDancing haha I know I knew someone was gonna point that out lol
I peed my pants this comment was so funny!
What are doing today
