I am sooooooooo confused!

I played woodwinds for many years (when I was younger!) so I am familiar with the Treble Clef.

I am attempting to learn keyboard and have come to the section about Bass Clef. I have yet to find a clear understanding! I always thought that the notes on the Bass Clef were different from the Treble Clef.

I have looked and looked for a side by side comparison of notes and can't find any examples at all. For example: Middle C/ Written on the Treble Clef/First line below the Staff//Written on the Bass Clef...."______"

Any help would be appreciated! My brain hurts!

Hi, the notes on the bass clef are: G 1st line, A 1st space, B 2nd line, C 2nd space, D 3rd line, E 3rd space, F 4th line, G 4th space, and A 5th line. This info was found on google under bass clef notes. Hope this helps.
