Bass clef is the other standard clef. If you sing either baritone or Bass you will have read in this clef.
This also the lower "line" of the Piano staff.
Instruments that play in the Bass clef:
French Horn (sometimes)
Bassoon
tuba
Euphonium (but not the baritone Horn)
Cello (but not always)
Bass and Double Bass
Trombone
Baritone and Bass Saxophones
Tympani
The Serpent
Bass Clarinet
Bass Flute
Piano
I include this list for anyone wanting to be inspired to write for Band or Orchestra.
I will add the Treble clef list to that class.
If you look at the attachment you will see that middle C is also named that because of it's position in between the staffs.
If you look at both clefs you will also see that reading between the clefs is pretty easy when laid out as it is. One of the ways you can help yourself read a singular line in a clef that you don't feel comfortable with is to write the other clef in so you can see the connection. (please do this in pencil!)
The bass clef is very easy to follow if you can pinpoint middle C. Than you can read it as easily as treble and even run between.
As a Horn player I have done this more than a few times and believe me it becomes almost automatic very quickly.
On the Attachment you will also see I included Middle C and the D above in both clefs.
