The viola uses the Alto clef. This clef is sometimes called the C clef.
Viola normally plays in the alto clef. However in score-reading, the treble-clef is used as the viola does not play registers as low as the other strings.alto cleff
Music for the viola is written in alto clef, where middle C is the middle line of the staff. Violists also learn the treble clef, with G on the second line (counting from the bottom) of the staff, to play in higher registers of the instrument.Cellos play in bass clef and also tenor clef. Some of their music can employ the alto or treble clef as well, though this is less common.

basically, most of the music instruments are played in G clef like Violin, Flute, Trumpet etc.
The viola is written in alto clef because that is its musical note range. Note that you are required to learn "the violin clef" too. Also because we needed another clef... and violas are special and didn't fit into any of the other instruments' ranges.

Viola does-- if u know how to read treble its not that hard just add one... ex. on treble the center line is B on alto clef just add one letter from the alphabet-- the middle line is C. if you play viola its pretty simple too because Middle C is Literally on the Middle! - im an orch dork (:
