There are 2 main types of clefs used in modern music notation: treble clef and bass clef.

Treble Clef

The treble clef is also known as the G clef because it identifies the line where the note G is located. It is commonly used in music for soprano and alto voices, as well as for instruments such as the violin, flute, and trumpet.

In music notation, a clef is a symbol placed at the beginning of a staff to indicate the pitch of the notes written on it. The clef helps musicians identify the notes and their pitches on the staff.
