Hello. my name is Rossella and today I'm
going to teach you how to write
musical clefs. If you have watched my
previous video,
you should know what clefs are and why
they are important.
Now, have you got paper already ruled
with a five-line musical staves
and a pencil with you? If you don't have
any manuscript paper it doesn't matter
because you can easily create your own
by drawing five lines,
like this.
Ready? Let's go!
First and most importantly, put your
pencil onto the second line of the stave
counting from the bottom, the line of G (sol)
Remember the treble clef loses its
powers
if it doesn't start from the second line
up from the bottom.
To help you remember that listen to this
MEMO-RHYME!
From the second line draw a
tummy, go up, change direction,
straight down and add a curl.
Let's do it again: second line,
belly, up, change direction, straight down
and curl.
How did you find it? Let me guess: you
were a bit confused over how to start
the belly.
And here it comes my CLICK FOR TIP
Right handed: move the pencil towards your writing hand
Left handed: move the pencil away from
your writing hand
Better? One last time then.
Belly, up, change direction, straight down
and curl.
Easy peasy?
Now, if you want to be a start learner
today, fill
an entire stave with treble clefs and
make sure that they look
neat right up to the last one.
The bass clef is a dotted backwards C.
It starts from the fourth line counting
from the bottom.
I did say that the starting point is
crucial in clefs,
so don't forget that. 4th line.
Ready to draw it with me? Let's go
Put your pencil onto the fourth line and
draw a backward C
Then add two dots either side of the
fourth line.
These dots are very easy to get in the
wrong place
or being forgotten, so here it comes my
MEMO-RHYME!
The bass clef is the only musical clef
that includes
dots in its symbol. They remind us where
the note F is.
Back to the clef, let's draw it once
more, shall we?
4thline, backwards C, dots.
Brilliant! Now, draw as many bass clefs as
you can
onto an empty stave and you will be a
star learner today!
I hope this video helped you learn how
to write the treble and bass clefs.
The two memo-rhymes will also help you
remember essential
points, to enable the clefs to work
properly ... and to give you full marks in
an exam.
Memorize them and surprise your teacher
with your perfect clefs!
And when you see somebody drawing a clef
that looks a bit weird
or sits in the wrong place, send them
this video.
