Yet the Registers were considered to change at C for hundreds of years. A several hundred year old piano naming system and the tuner system are the leading systems. Sadly even adopting C as the point of change we still have several methods of naming those Cs. If you read many Journals you will see notes named C5, C6 or sometimes C” or C ”’. The ITG (International Trumpet Guild) adopted the system of changing at Cs back in the 70s. This wasn’t usable for music nomenclature and so it was universally agreed to change at the Cs. They simply couldn’t have willy-nilly naming conventions. So the 5th line F at the top of the staff would have been considered an octave displaced from the same note with the same sound on trumpet and clarinet. If we changed based on the lowest note then Clarinets, Sax, Trumpet… would change registers on different notes.Ĭlarinet has Low E and Trumpet Low F# as the lowest notes. The reason is so that they can call a note E4, F4, G4… or E’, F’, G’… and know what register they are talking about. In Composition, Theory, Arranging… the same rules apply for every instrument. Registers for every instrument start and change on the Cs. This isn’t how other musicians name notes. The Double register starts with Double High C on top of the 5th ledger line above the staff. The Highs go from High C 2nd ledger line above the staff up to B 5th ledger line above the staff. Therefore we say 2nd line G, G on top of the staff, 4th space E ect. That is because we broke a rule in naming Low G. (People often refer to middle C but not middle D, E, F, G, A or B. But since we already call the G below the staff Low G that leaves no name for the 2nd line G. Middle C or 3rd space C is the exception. Unfortunately the notes from G on the second line up to B below High C have NO common name. That leaves us with the notes starting on 2nd line G up to B below High C. We all also understand High C (above the staff). We all under stand Low G or Low C.(Even though it does not follow the other naming schemes.) We tried to name them Low middle and High. We have approached this a little differently. The piano is the instrument that most naming schemes come from.īecause of that the name of the register changes at the Cs.
