Fascinating Fact:

Real-life tip for Grade 1 Bass Clef: low instruments and left-hand piano use it, so expect lower notes.

In Specialist Music Theory, this Grade 1 Bass Clef Part 2 page extends Part 1. You’ll strengthen space-note reading (A–C–E–G), spot small intervals, and meet simple ledger notes with steady counting.

  • Spaces (A–C–E–G): The four gaps between bass clef lines from bottom to top.
  • Interval: The distance between two notes, measured in steps (seconds, thirds, etc.).
  • Ledger Line: A short extra line that shows notes above or below the stave.
What are the bass clef spaces for Grade 1?

The spaces from bottom to top are A, C, E, G. A handy memory phrase is “All Cows Eat Grass.”

Where is Middle C in the bass clef?

Middle C sits on a small ledger line above the bass stave. It is just one step above the top space G.

Is the bass clef only for the left hand on piano?

Mostly, yes, but not always. Other instruments like cello, bassoon, trombone, tuba, and double bass also read bass clef.
