1. The Beginners Guide To Treble Clef For Piano and Keyboard
On the Piano you have two music Clefs, one being the Treble Clef and one being the Bass Clef.
The reason for two clefs is because there are quite a few keys on a piano, which repeat You need to
be able to almost split the piano down the middle. So, as a general rule, notes below MIDDLE C are
usually read in the Bass Clef and are the lower tones on the piano, and notes above MIDDLE C are
usually read in the Treble Clef, and are heard as the higher tones on the piano.
The clefs sit on a musical score, and the lines that make up the musical score are called a stave. You
have five lines, and the notes are read on and in-between the lines.
The next step is to understand the notes on the stave. Each line and space on the stave represents a
note. There are some easy rhymes to help you remember. You have two rhymes to remember for
each Clef, one for the notes on the lines, and the other for the notes in-between the lines.
For the treble clef the notes sat directly on the lines are E G B D F. A popular rhyme to use is Every
Good Boy Deserves Football.
The notes in-between the lines in the small spaces created are FACE, which spell FACE! So imagine
you have just won the lottery and you have a big smile on your face as an example to help you
remember.
There are also a few additional notes in the treble clef that you will come across quite frequently.
There are other notes off the stave but just focus on the most popular ones initially as a beginner.
These are middle C which is two steps below E on the bottom or first line of the Stave, you have D
which is one step below E on the bottom line of the stave, and B which is 3 steps below E on the
bottom line of the stave. Then moving up the stave, you have G which sits directly above F on the
top line of the Stave. So always remember in the treble Clef, E is the bottom part and lower section
of the treble clef then as you move up the notes will go higher on the stave and F is the highest note
directly on the stave on the line. You can use these notes as references should you need too.
A way to work out new notes you don't recognise on the score and this applies to treble and bass
clef is to count up or down the lines in note order depending on which direction you are travelling
and need to work out.
It can take many years of practice to reach the standard to be able play your own one hour song
repertoire on piano or keyboard.
But what if there was a simple method that could show any beginner how to do it in just 12 days?
