On behalf of Expert Village, I am Eric Williams and I am here to tell you about reading music.
The bass clef does have a transition at the very top of the bass clef which takes you
into the notes of the treble clef. Let me try to illustrate that. If you start with
your famous low g that we were just talking about, we have g, a, b, c, d, e, f, g, a is
the very top line of the bass clef. When you get to b, it is note that sits on the very
top of bass the clef and then you need to go to ledger lines. The very first ledger
line above the bass clef takes you to c and by the beautiful magic of music, this c right
here, this middle c and it is the first ledger line below the treble clef. So this cross
over point right here, we are actually in some ways the bass clef and the treble clef
at the same time, the same note. From here on out what we can do is treat this as middle
c as the ledger line right below the treble clef and then we continue onward and upward
to d which is a note hanging off the bottom of the treble clef and then we go e which
is every good boy does fine. So every f, g, a, b, c, d, e, and the very top line of the
treble clef is f. So we start way down here and we up here and we've covered the notes
of the bass clef and the treble clef.
