The piano uses both the Treble clef (for higher pitches) and the Bass clef (for lower pitches). It plays in the key of C. Sometimes it is misinterpreted that the Treble clef is for the rigth hand and the Bass clef if for the left hand. This isn't true. Both hands can use the Treble clef or Bass clef, or even the right hand can use the Bass clef and the left hand can use the Treble clef.

Music for 'cello is usually written in the bass, or F, cleff. However, as the violoncello has a very wide range, from very low to very high, music is sometimes written in the tenor cleff (a C cleff which shows where middle C is) or in treble cleff. Writting in these cleffs obviates the use of hard-to-read ledger lines above the staff.

What specific music does the flute play?

The flute is a woodwind instrument and usually plays the tune in orchestras or other musical groups. The flute plays in the treble clef in the key of C which is the same key as the piano. This means that a flute player can usually play the top line of a piano's music if necessary. (You don't have to transpose piano music into flute music either as it is in the same key!)
