Do you want to learn the note names of the bass clef?

The bass clef is used both for the grand staff for big range instruments like piano, but also for low register instruments like basses and cellos.

It is important to note that the bass clef and treble clef both meet in symmetry at middle C. Middle C is the first ledger line below the treble clef, and the first ledger line above the bass clef.

Another way to think about the bass clef is that each note is exactly one full step below the corresponding note name in the treble clef.

For example: G in the treble clef is the note on the second line from the bottom, while G in the bass clef is the note on the last line.
