A clef is a musical symbol placed at the beginning of the staff to indicate which pitches correspond to the lines and spaces. It helps musicians read and play music by defining the range of notes for a particular staff. The most common clefs are the treble clef, which is used for higher-pitched notes, and the bass clef, which is used for lower-pitched notes. Other clefs, such as the alto and tenor clefs, are used for specific ranges and instruments. The clef ensures that the notes written on the staff are interpreted correctly by showing their specific pitch.
