Lead note for bass clef chord?

Question

With the treble clef chord the bottom note is like the lead note, the rest of the notes stem from that note. Is that the same with a bass clef chord? Please help!?

I know what notes they cleff actaully starts with. I mean when you are writing a chord. I'm not sure if its the same way with bass that it is with treble. When you write a chord on treble, lets say CM chord. C then 2 whole steps away is E and then 1 and a half steps away from that G. C E G is CM chord. I think of C, *or the bottom note of any chord*, as the lead note. Is it the same on the bass clef?

thank you soo much bearcat! I didn't want to call my instructor. I should have, a PhD in Music can help I guess huh? lol
Again, Thank you!!!!

Answer 1

The simple answer to your question is yes, chords in the bass clef are formed in the same way as chords in the treble clef.

Two points to think about: first, the bottom note of a chord is called the "root" not the lead note.

Second, due to the overtone series, chords that are built in the bass clef in the same way as the treble clef will sound thick and heavy. Generally, chords written low in the bass clef would be spaced differently, for instance C , G , E or perhaps C (below staff), octave C (2nd space), G(4th space) , E(2nd line above staff).

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

The bass clef starts out with G. The treble clef starts out with E. Happy music-making!!

Answer 3

No, this piece is in Treble Clef. That's the "S" looking thing at the beginning of each line. It tells you how to read the music, as in where on the staff the notes fall.
