- Definition
The treble clef is a musical symbol that tells you where the higher notes are on a musical staff, often used for instruments like the flute or violin, and for women's and children's voices. It's also known as the G clef because its swirl circles the line where the note G is placed.
treble clef is a term used in Ontario’s Kindergarten to Grade 8 curriculum.
