Write notes in every clef. Each question gives you a letter name and an empty staff, and the clef can change from one question to the next: treble, bass, alto, tenor, the F clef on the 3rd line and the C clefs on the 1st and 2nd lines. Click or tap the staff to place the note; any octave is accepted. There are 10 questions.
Tip: Before you place anything, identify the clef and its anchor note. Then count from the anchor to the letter you need. If you are given a C in any C clef, you can place it right away: it goes where the center of the clef points.
Where each clef marks a note
This table gives the anchor of every clef and the range of its five lines. Use it to check yourself after a wrong answer.
| Clef | Where it marks a note | Bottom line to top line |
|---|---|---|
| Treble clef | G4 on the 2nd line | E4 to F5 |
| Bass clef | F3 on the 4th line | G2 to A3 |
| F clef on the 3rd line | F3 on the 3rd line | B2 to C4 |
| C clef on the 1st line (soprano) | C4 on the 1st line | C4 to D5 |
| C clef on the 2nd line (mezzo-soprano) | C4 on the 2nd line | A3 to B4 |
| Alto clef (C clef on the 3rd line) | C4 on the 3rd line | F3 to G4 |
| Tenor clef (C clef on the 4th line) | C4 on the 4th line | D3 to E4 |
Not ready for the mix? Practice one clef at a time with the single-clef writing exercises, or first learn to name notes in all clefs. Letters here follow English usage; in fixed-do countries, C is Do, D is Re, E is Mi, F is Fa, G is Sol, A is La and B is Si.
