Best Answer

Unless I'm mistaken, the higher voices of the string family (the violin, etc.) play in the treble clef. The lower voices (the cello, and anything else apart from the viola) play in the bass clef. The viola plays in the special, Alto clef. Research this on a more accurate website to gain a verified answer.
