clé neutre

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

Unpitched instruments use a special clef, called the neutral clef. So here we see the neutral clef, which is simply two parallel lines that go from the second line from the bottom of the staff to the second line from the top of the staff.

A musical-notation symbol at the beginning of a music staff, a clef indicates the pitch of the notes on the staff. Clefs were originally letters, identifying letter-named pitches, that were added to one or more of the staff's lines (thus providing a "key" to their identity).

The treble clef was historically used to mark a treble, or pre-pubescent, voice part. Instruments that use the treble clef include violin, flute, oboe, cor anglais, all clarinets, all saxophones, horn, trumpet, cornet, vibraphone, xylophone, mandolin, recorder, bagpipe and guitar.

The C clef is an important clef in orchestral music. It's used for certain instruments including the viola, cello, bassoon, and more. It was also commonly used in older vocal scores. It isn't any harder than learning F or G clef; the process of learning to read a new clef is always exactly the same.

The neutral clef is also known as the percussion clef, the indefinite pitch clef, or the rhythm clef.

Reading Alto Clef The mnemonic device “Fat Alley Cats Eat Garbage” (F, A, C, E, G) may help you remember this order of letter names. As seen in Example 5, the center of the alto clef is indented around the C line (the middle line). For this reason it is sometimes called a “C clef.”

The modern stave comprises five lines and four spaces. Every line or space on the staff represents a white key on the keyboard. Every line or space on the stave represents a white key on the keyboard. Clefs assign individual notes to certain lines or spaces. Two clefs are normally used: the Treble and Bass clefs.

The treble is the highest sound in music while the bass is the lowest sound in music. The treble is located on the line in the staff that is a space higher than the bass while the bass is located on the line in the staff that is a space lower than the treble.

The treble clef is typically used for higher voices and instruments, such as a flute, violin, trumpet, or soprano voice. The bass clef is usually utilized for lower voices and instruments, such as a bassoon, cello, trombone, or bass voice.
