The treble clef is the most common type of clef and is used on most instruments for example, saxophone, the right hand of the piano, clarinet, trumpet and flute. It is used to notate pitches that are above middle C, which means they are medium to high pitches. In the treble clef, the notes E, G, B, D and F are found on the lines, and F, A, C and E are in the spaces. It is also known as the G clef because when you draw one, you start near the G line.
These are the notes on the treble clef
This example is from "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and is written with the correct notes on the treble clef. The first note is a G because there is a treble clef and the note is on the second line up on the stave. We also know that the third note is a D because we are still in the treble clef and it is on the fourth line up which means it is a D.

The majority of melodies that people listen to would fall into the treble clef. Most voices would also fall into the treble clef alongside the saxophone, guitar and the right hand on the piano.
As above in the example section, the treble clef is the most common clef as it is what most instruments used which means it is very good and useful.
