Treble Clef tattoo designs are a symbol that is near and dear to the hearts of music lovers. The treble clef is a symbol located at the beginning of a staff, which are the five horizontal lines that we all recognize as forming a bar of music. The Treble Clef is sometimes referred to as the "G" clef because of it's shape. The Treble Clef is located at the beginning of a staff to indicate the pitches of the notes places on the lines and spaces of the staff.
When the G-clef is placed on the second line of the staff, it is called the "treble clef". This is the most common clef used today, and the only G-clef still in use. It was formerly also known as the "violin clef". The treble clef was historically used to mark a treble, or pre-pubescent, voice part.
The lines on the treble clef staff correspond to the letters E G B D F, and can be remembered with the help of such phrases as "Every Green Bus Drives Fast", "Every Good Boy Does Fine", "Elvis Goes Belly Dancing Fridays" or "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge". The spaces on the treble clef staff, from bottom to top, correspond to the letters F A C E.
