What other
non-keyboard instrument needs to know more than one clef?
Not really todays customs, but in the 18th century violinists were expected
to read at least the French G clef, and they almost certainly had to read
soprano clefs as well.
This raises a totally tangential issue -- why aren't more clefs taught
in music lessons at an earlier point? Why is it only those who seem
destined for collegiate music study who ever are taught about clefs?
Question for you, David -- you play trombone, right? Most woodwinds only
need to know
