• It serves as a central reference point for both clefs

• It is the lowest note in the bass clef

• It is the highest note in the treble clef

How does the use of ledger lines help in reading music?

• They make the music look more complex

• They help in identifying notes that are too high or too low for the stave

• They are used to separate different musical sections

• They indicate the tempo of the music

• To confuse beginners

• To accommodate the different pitch ranges played by each hand

Why might music for instruments like the French horn change clefs halfway through?

• To change the tempo

• To indicate a key change

• To avoid excessive use of ledger lines

• To make the music more challenging

What is a common mistake students make in music theory exams regarding clefs?

• Using the wrong instrument

• Writing notes one octave too low

• Ignoring the time signature

• Forgetting to use ledger lines

How can students avoid mistakes in matching notes between clefs?

• By practicing with a metronome

• By using middle C as a reference point

• By memorizing all notes

• By listening to music regularly

What happens if a student forgets to match up middle C in an exam?
