How To Draw a Bass Clef

Here is a worksheet for kids to learn how to draw a bass clef. I think the bass clef is the easiest of all the clefs to learn to draw. The important part to remember is where the dots go, and that the bottom of the half of the heart doesn’t touch the bottom line. I also like teaching bass clef because it reinforces where bass F is. The large dot is an easy visual reminder and marker to help them remember F! 

Here are a couple of talking points when you are introducing bass clef to violin students.

• What does bass mean?
• How do you pronounce bass? (It’s not like the fish! It’s like baseball.)
• Why we need other clefs?
• What instruments read music in bass clef
