Piano music is written in the bass and treble clefs, though other clefs are used in other instrumentation. The treble clef, or G clef, is used for the higher sounding notes, usually played with the right hand.
Do you need to know bass clef for piano?
Music uses several different clefs, but as a keyboard player you're in luck — you only need to know two — the treble clef and the bass clef. You can think of it as having a clef for each hand because you generally play the notes on the treble clef with your right hand and the notes on the bass clef with your left hand.
Can you play bass clef on piano?
The bass clef is a way to notate pitches below middle C. It is also commonly known as F clef because it locates F on the staff. Piano bass clef notes are most frequently played with the left hand.
