Where the clefs meet
The same sound, two places
The treble and bass staves share the notes around middle C. The same sound can be written in either clef, in a different place on each stave.
Quick check
A treble clef note is on the second ledger line below the stave. Where is the same note in the bass clef?
An octave apart
A note can also move an octave: the same letter name, eight letters higher or lower. "The second E above middle C" means count up to the first E, then an octave more.
Quick check
How far is the second E above middle C from the first E?
Remember
- The same sound sits in a different place in each clef.
- An octave: the same letter, eight letters higher or lower.
