Alto and Tenor clefs may look the same, but they indicate a completely different set of notes! I made a video to spell out the difference. Check it out!

Great video, excellent presentation, but had hoped for more on the Alto clef.

BTW, the alto trombone, alto brass horn, and the tenor trombone in high range all use the alto clef. (The use of the alto clef for trombones is archaic. Frankly I wish use of the tenor clef was archaic It's a problem for me. I read treble easily.)

Among the strings, I only viola uses the alto clef, that I know of.
