The bass clef is one of the main musical keys. Every novice pianist encounters it almost immediately, as soon as he begins to read notes for the left hand. The bass clef also has a second name - "fa key", since it indicates the position of this particular note on the stave.
It is necessary
- - notes recorded in the bass clef.
- - music book.
Instructions
Step 1
Take a close look at what a bass clef looks like. It has a point from which the curl begins, and two more points at the back. Moreover, they are written above and below the ruler on which the first point stands. In modern piano literature, this is the fourth ruler from the bottom, and it is on it that the F note of the small octave is written. There are two more similar keys - baritone and bassoprofund. In the first case, the fa of a small octave is written on the third ruler, in the second - on the fifth. But such keys are practically not found in the mainstream musical literature.
Step 2
Build a scale from small octave fa up and down. As with the treble clef, notes are written on and between rulers. Thus, the salt of the minor octave is located between the fourth and fifth rulers, a and si, respectively, on and above the fifth. Find the corresponding sounds on the keyboard and memorize the desired keys.
Step 3
Find the e and re of a small octave. They are written respectively between the third and fourth lines and on the third. Between the third and the second there will be do, on the second - si, between the second and the first - a, and on the first - salt. The F of the large octave is located under the first ruler, that is, in the same place as D is the first in the treble clef.
Step 4
Having memorized the ratio of sounds and notes that are written on the main rulers of the staff, go to the additional rulers. It is best to start with the upper sounds. You have already found the small octave B. The next sound after it is up to the first octave. It is indicated by the note recorded on the first additional ruler from the top. Recall that in the treble clef, the same note is on the first additional bottom. With this simple mnemonic trick, you can very quickly determine which notes are being written on other additional rulers. You will no longer need to count them from the fa line written on the fourth ruler. Moreover, in the end there will be not so many of these notes, in an extreme case, you will have to memorize or find more re, mi and fa. If the left-hand part contains higher sounds, it is more convenient to use the treble clef. And this is done quite often.
Step 5
Notes on additional rulers located at the bottom of the staff, it is advisable to learn everything. There are quite a few of them, and it is very inconvenient to count each time. So find them once. You can record a descending scale and sign the names of the notes. You have already reached the big octave fa, it is under the first ruler. Count where the rest of the sounds of the large octave, counter octave and sub-controctave are located (on a conventional piano keyboard, it is incomplete).
