clave de tenor

The tenor generally sings in falsetto voice, corresponding roughly to the countertenor in classical music, and harmonizes above the lead, who sings the melody. The barbershop tenor range is Middle C to A one octave above Middle C, though it is written an octave lower.

Tenor = treble clef with an 8 below or a double treble clef. Many pieces, particularly those from before the 21st century, use an unaltered treble clef, with the expectation the tenors will still sing an octave lower than notated. Bass = bass clef (fourth-line F clef)

Tenor clef is principally used for the upper registers of instruments that ordinarily use the bass clef. Therefore, being able to transcribe the notes from tenor clef to bass clef is an important skill for many musicians. Common tenor clef instruments include the bassoon, cello, double bass, and tenor trombone.

Tenor Clef is a “C” clef that is placed on the 4th line from the bottom of the staff. The line going through the center of the clef (4th line) is a Flick C (C4) which would be located one ledger line above the staff in bass clef.

Within the tenor voice-type category are seven generally recognized subcategories: leggero tenor, lyric tenor, spinto tenor, dramatic tenor, heldentenor, Mozart tenor, and tenor buffo or spieltenor.

So if this is middle c. This is c down here an octave. Below middle c let's look at the next one if this is c i'm going c e g. So it's g above middle c or i can say oh this is this a in the treble

Tenor parts are often written in the treble clef. But that means they are then one octave higher than they should be. So a little '8' is written under the clef sign, telling that all the notes are to be sung an octave lower than written.

middle C Octave designation: The International Standards Organization (ISO) system for register designations assigns "C4" to middle C (the first ledger line below the staff in treble clef).

Middle C is the 4th C note from the left hand side of a standard 88-key piano (the 5th C from the right hand side) and is commonly tuned to 256 Hz. It is referred to as C4 in scientific pitch notation, is note number 60 in the MIDI protocol and is located on the 1st fret of the 2nd string on a guitar.
