The treble clef

The G clef

A clef at the start of the stave tells you which note is where. This is the treble clef. It curls round the second line up. That line is G, so it is also called the G clef. It is for higher notes: a flute, a violin, a piano's right hand.

The lines: E G B D F

From the bottom, the treble lines are E G B D F. To remember them, say: Every Good Boy Deserves Football.

The spaces: F A C E

The four spaces, from the bottom, are F A C E. They spell FACE. That one is easy to keep in your head.

Remember

• The treble clef curls round G.
• Lines: E G B D F, Every Good Boy Deserves Football.
• Spaces: F A C E.
