There are two most commonly used staffs. These are called the treble staff (the higher staff with the swirly, twirly symbol), and the bass staff (the lower staff with a not so swirly symbol). The treble and bass staff have five lines and each. There are four spaces between these lines. The treble staff has names as follows...

_____ F(line)

E(space)

_____ D(line)

C(space)

_____ B(line)

A(space)

_____ G(line)

F(space)

_____ E(line)

The bass staff has names as follows...

I'm sorry if this looks confusing, but it is hard to show without images.

What is the highest and lowest note on the euphonium?

The highest and lowest note of the euphonium depends upon the strength and skill of the player as well as the specific capabilities of the euphonium. The practical range of the euphonium is from E below the bass staff to the Bb an octave above the bass staff, but many players can exceed that range. The range cannot be extended chromatically lower, however, unless the euphonium has a fourth valve.


Is a b flat clarinet the same notes as a tenor saxophone?

Take the upper octave fingerings of the B flat clarinet (D in the staff to a D above the staff) and they produce the same notes on the tenor saxophone. On tenor saxophone, you would use the same fingerings for notes regardless of which octave you are in (for example: a D in the staff is the same fingering as a D below the staff) either adding the octave key to make the note higher or lower. The only inconsistencies with no relation between clarinet and tenor are the fingerings for C (middle key in the left hand on tenor) and C sharp (no keys down on tenor) Notes in the octave above the staff are different from clarinet to tenor as well.
