Practice writing notes in the alto clef. You are told a note name, such as A, and you place it on the staff. Click or tap in the right spot; any octave is accepted. There are 10 questions.
Tip: A C always goes on the middle line (C4). One step above it is D (the space), then E (the fourth line). One step below is B (the space), then A (the second line).
Placing notes in the alto clef
The middle line is C4, and the other lines are a third apart: F3, A3, C4, E4 and G4. Because the clef is symmetrical, the notes above and below the middle line mirror each other. Start from the middle line and count outward.
If this feels hard, first practice reading notes in the alto clef, and check the dictionary entry for the alto clef.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you place a note in the alto clef?
Start from the middle line, which is middle C (C4). Count up or down to the letter you were given, click or tap the position and press Check.
Why does any octave count as correct?
Only the letter name is checked. A C can go on the middle line (C4) or above the staff (C5), for example, and both answers are accepted.
