Questions for Programme 1:
1. Please identify a few instruments or singers that use the treble or G clef.
2. Please identify a few instruments or singers that use the bass or F clef.
3. Please identify a few instruments or singers that might use the C clef. (Hint: this clef is movable, and can be called the Alto Clef, the Tenor Clef, the Soprano Clef, the Mezzo-Soprano Clef and the Baritone Clef.
4. Please think of three reasons why middle C is called middle C.
5. Please listen to one piece written for a treble clef instrument, one for a bass clef instrument, and the remaining two movements of the Schumann Märchenbilder we heard which are for the C clef instrument. Reflect on whether the relative low or high sounds mean something to your listening experience and which speak most directly to your heart.
