to yield A musical directive to the performer to yield, or slow down.

A C-clef on the third line of the staff is called the alto or viola clef. It is currently used for viola, viola d'amore, alto trombone, viola da gamba, and mandola. It is also associated with the countertenor voice and sometimes called the countertenor clef.

The French violin clef is similar to the ordinary treble clef but positioned on the bottom line of the staff to indicate the position of the pitch "G" above middle C. When the French violin clef is used, "G4" is the bottom line on the staff.

The notes in the alto clef are written much higher on the staff than the notes in the treble clef.

The moveable C-Clef kept the majority of pitches of a given voice within the boundaries of the staff conforming to the typical range of that voice. Hence the common names for this clef as it occurs on each line reflect the associated voice part.

The C Clef is a movable clef. The 5 C Clefs establish specific pitches for Middle C. The simplest reason to use it is to avoid needing to use ledger lines. Although used primarily in vocal music of the Classical era and earlier, C Clefs are still seen in Orchestral Music today for certain instruments.

clef, (French: “key”) in musical notation, symbol placed at the beginning of the staff, determining the pitch of a particular line and thus setting a reference for, or giving a “key” to, all notes of the staff.

The Notation of Notes, Clefs, and Ledger Lines chapter introduced four clefs: treble, bass, alto, and tenor. A clef indicates which pitches are assigned to the lines and spaces on a staff.

The bass clef is for instruments with a low pitch range, while the treble clef is for instruments with a high pitch range. The piano is unique because the right hand uses the treble clef for the top half of the piano and the left hand uses the bass clef for the lower half.

TREBLE CLEF The TREBLE CLEF is the musical clef used for the highest notes in music. It is used by high-pitched instruments like the clarinet, guitar, trumpet, and oboe. It is also called the “G CLEF” because the spiral in the treble shape curls around the second line from the bottom which holds the note “G”.
