clef de sol

music. treble clef {noun}

ˈklef. : a sign placed at the beginning of a musical staff to determine the pitch of the notes.

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 treble clef is a symbol used to signify higher-pitched notes in contemporary musical notation, placed at the beginning of a staff. This is in contrast to the bass clef, which refers to a lower-pitched range of notes.

A clef (from French: clef 'key') is a musical symbol used to indicate which notes are represented by the lines and spaces on a musical staff. Placing a clef on a staff assigns a particular pitch to one of the five lines or four spaces, which defines the pitches on the remaining lines and spaces.

French The word “clef” is a French word meaning “key”. The original Latin word is “clavis”. It is the “key” to understanding which notes should be played.

The three clef symbols used in modern music notation are the G-clef, F-clef, and C-clef. Placing these clefs on a line fixes a reference note to that line - an F-clef fixes the F below middle C, a C-clef fixes middle C, and a G-clef fixes the G above middle C.

The treble clef is the most used clef in Western music notation. It primarily notates musical notes above middle C. The treble clef is shaped like an ornamental letter G, and its inner curve surrounds the note G4 that falls above middle C. For this reason, the treble clef is nicknamed the G clef.

• Treble clef. The treble clef (also called the G clef) indicates that the note G above middle C falls on the second line of the staff.
• Bass clef. The bass clef (also called the F clef) indicates that the note F below middle C falls on the fourth line of the staff.
• Grand staff.
• Alto clef.
• Tenor clef.
• Octave clefs.
• Clef change.

Clefs assign individual notes to certain lines or spaces. Two clefs are normally used: the Treble and Bass clefs.

Octave clef Treble and bass clefs can be modified by octave numbers. An "8" below the clef (as in the diagram) indicates that pitches will sound an octave lower than they would with the unmodified clef. A "15" below indicates a two-octave shift.

Sharp (#): This symbol (as much as I cringe to say it, the one that looks like a hashtag) indicates that a note should be played half a step higher than it is normally played. It is always placed on the staff line in front of (that is, to the left of) the note.
