The method of recognizing the bass clef staff includes the position of the bass clef, the notes of the bass clef, the instruments corresponding to the bass clef, etc.

1. The position of the bass clef

The bass clef is usually located above the fourth line of the staff. It's shaped like a big number "9" with thicker strokes. When we see such a symbol appear above the staff, we know that the next note will be in the bass range.

2. The notes of the bass clef

The bass clef represents the notes in the bass area, and the range is relatively low. The typical notes in the bass range, from top to bottom, are: F, E, D, C, B, A, G. You can memorize these notes by memorizing the mnemonic "Father's big strawberry, Angel's flying guitar".

3. Instruments corresponding to bass clef

Bass clef often appears in the scores of cello, double bass, bassoon and other musical instruments. It is also used in the left hand part of the piano. When we see the bass clef, we can expect low and deep notes to appear, and therefore be able to better understand the emotions and musical images that the composer wanted to express.

Introduction to the history of the development of staff notation:

1. Newm notation

The birthplace of staff notation is Greece. In ancient Greece, the main form of music was vocal music. The pitch and length of the pronunciation of the lyrics were represented by letters such as A, B, and C. In the Roman era, another symbol began to be used to represent the pitch of the sounds. This notation method Called "Newm notation", this is the prototype of the staff. "Neuma" originates from the Greek word, meaning symbol, and is the shape of the early Neuma represented in the form of a drawing.

2. One-line notation

The Newham symbol switches clearly, sometimes indicating a single note, and often indicating a group of notes. It can help the singer remember and understand the characteristics of various tunes. But it cannot express the length of the sound, and it has no fixed high or low position, so later generations drew a straight line and wrote the Newm symbol above and below the line. With the line as the center point, the sound was fixed as F, and then according to the upper and lower positions, Determine the pitch, this form is called a "line notation".

3. Colored four-line notation

In the 11th century, monks often placed Newm symbols on the four lines to determine their pitch. This kind of music notation was called " Four-line score”. The starting line spectrum is drawn in different colors, such as the red line representing the F note, and the yellow or green line representing the C note.
