  1. Baritone treble vs. bass clef?

    I am a band director and in the scores there is music for both Baritone Treble Clef and Baritone Bass Clef.

    I'm just curious(yes, another random thread!). I know that it could possibly help you keep your woodwinds in tune because of the ear it takes to play brass instruments, but what else does it do(if it does anything at all:colors:!)
