	Clef - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There are two common clefs that use the C clef symbol: The alto clef, which assigns C to the middle line of the staff, and the tenor clef, which assigns C to the second line from the top of the staff.
		In this case the soprano and alto voices occupy the upper staff, with the treble clef, and the tenor and bass voices occupy the lower staff, with the bass clef.
		One more use of the clefs is training in sight reading: the ability to read in any clef is useful for being able to transpose on sight (see sight transposition), although in that case the tessitura implied by the given clef must be ignored.

		The vocal tenor clef adds the number 8 below the normal G clef symbol indicating that the indicated staff should be performed one octave lower than indicated.

		The G clef assigns the note G to a line on the staff, determined by the curl of the "G" symbol.
		However, the F clef has historically been used on other lines of the musical staff, most notably on the middle line, when it is known as the baritone clef.
		The C clef is sometimes also used to indicate the mezzo-soprano or flautalto clef, which assigns C to the second line from the bottom of the staff.

		It is also called an F clef because it came from an old fashion F symbol that looks like an F. The bass clef marks the fourth line of the musical staff as F. All other notes fall on the other lines and spaces accordingly.
		A C clef symbol placed on the third line of the musical staff marks that line as middle C. C clef pointing to the third line of the musical staff is called an alto clef.
		A C clef pointing to the fourth line of the musical staff marks that line as C. It is called a tenor clef.

		Tenor clef is typically used for cellos, bassoons and trombones in their higher range.
		To my understanding, these clefs originated from the time when music was notated in a four-line staff, and clefs were movable to denote middle C, which varied according to the range.
		The 'soprano' clef, and 'mezz-soprano' and all that crap are just the C clef(tenor clef), moved to different lines to show where that clef's 'c' is.

	Introductory Studies in Tenor & Alto Clef for Trombone "Before Blazhevich": A Review
		While Blazhevich’s quirky etudes are excellent studies for teaching clef reading while solving varied musical problems, the typical complaints are that the first section (where studies are limited by an expanding number of positions) is too simplistic and the studies in all keys and positions are too difficult for younger students.
		Introductory Studies in Tenor & Alto Clef for Trombone “Before Blazhevich” by Brad Edwards is intended to bridge the gap in the clef study literature between the overly simplistic and the overly difficult and to provide an improved introductory experience to the second section of the Blazhevich Clef Studies.
		Instead of Blazhevich’s approach of studies in all clefs limited by positions, Introductory Studies uses “Guidepost” notes to help the student transfer his or her skills reading bass clef to tenor and alto clef.

	Dolmetsch Online - Music Theory Online - Staffs, Clefs & Pitch Notation
		The clef establishes the pitch of the note on one particular line of the staff and thereby fixes the pitch of all the other notes lying on, or related to, the same staff.
		The note we call middle C and which lies in the middle of the alto clef (for clarity, we have shown it in red), lies one line below the five lines of the treble clef and lies one line above the five lines of the bass clef.
		The alto clef is one of a number that use the C clef symbol, so named because the the clef symbol is centered on the horizontal line, marked in red in the diagram to the right, associated with the note middle C. The alto clef is also known as the counter-tenor clef.

	Clef (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		A clef is a sign at the beginning of a stave which gives the starting point for finding the note pitch of notes on the stave.
		The treble clef is an old-fashioned letter "G", and it curls round the second line of the stave, indicating that a note on this line has the note name "G".
		The bass clef is an old-fashioned letter "F", and it has the two dots either side of the fourth line, indicating that a note on this line has the note name "F", the "F" below middle "C", in the centre of a man's singing voice.

	NWCForum - What is a Tenor Clef?
		This clef would have had something like the G string as the middle line of the staff (corresponding to the bottom line of the bass clef, which is the absolute pitch it sounds).
		In other words, the treble clef has a dot in the centre of the fat base, on line 2, that indicates line 2 is G. That's why it is referred to as a G clef Similarly, the bass clef has two dots that indicate the position of F, and is known as the F clef.
		The G clef (not treble clef) has a "circle and crosshairs" (not a dot in the centre of the fat base) that indicates the position of the G. Its placement on the staff indicates that it is a treble clef.

	Using clefs
		The instruments use the clef which is closest to their range, so that the notes are found as much as possible inside the staff.
		It is sometimes called G clef second line, to avoid confusing it with the last clef which has the same symbol but which is placed on the first line.
		These clefs are respectively called C clef first line, C clef second line, C clef third line and C clef fourth line, referring to the line of the staff where the C note is placed.

	NWCForum - Clefs
		The difference between the C clef and the others is that it is still commonly used in more than one position: On the middle line, it's the "alto clef", and on the line above that, the "tenor clef".
		The soprano clef (actually Soprano staff, but that terminology is obsolete) may be represented by the C clef on the bottom line, or the G clef on the middle line (which was seldom used).
		I sometimes use c clefs for my personal concert-pitch scores of wind music, since alto clef is the best fit for the range of the alto saxophone, for example, and I find reading tenor clef less disorienting than the octave transposed treble most tenor-pitch instruments use.

		So, a bass clef open G would be printed as an open D in tenor clef.

		With the neutral clef, no pitches are indicated, because this clef is used by instruments that produce no specific pitch: snare drum, bass drum, tom toms, etc. The staff also looks a little unusual: it is obviously a staff for two different percussion instruments, one with a high sound, the other with a low sound.
		This 2-line staff, with the neutral clef at the beginning would be ideal for two different sizes of tom toms.

		Aside from the truism that the little “arrow” of the “3“ of the tenor clef points to “middle C“; (the lowest C on our G-string), there is precious little guidance on how to read this clef.
		The lowest line in bass clef is a G, and the lowest ledger line above the tenor clef is also a G. The second to the lowest line in bass clef is B, and the next higher ledger line of the tenor clef is also a B, and so on.
