∙ 12y agoThere are actually four clefs in music. The two main ones that you are probably thinking of are the treble clef and the bass clef. There are also the alto clef and the tenor clef. Some examples:
On the piano the top line is usually the treble clef and the bottom line is usually the bass clef.
Music for instruments such as the Flute are in treble clef.
Music for cello is usually in bass or tenor clef.
Music for viola is usually in alto clef.
Music for bassoon is usually in tenor clef.
Hope this helps!

What is the purpose of clef signs?
The clefs are used to tell what register the music is to be played in. Treble is to be played in a higher register, alto and tenor are the middle registers and bass is the low register. These are the four main clefs used, however, the clefs that are mainly seen in music are the treble and bass clef. The clefs also determine where the notes are placed. The treble clef is also known as the 'G' clef as it starts on the G line of the stave (as given by a treble clef). The bass clef starts on the 'F' line of the stave (as given by the bass clef).
