I KNOW THAT THE TRICK FOR MEMORIZING THE TREBLE CLEF IS EVERY GOOD BOY DOES FINE AND THE WORD FACE. WHAT IS THE TRICK FOR THE BASS CLEF?

While mnemonics like FACE and Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge can be helpful in the short term for learning the note names, developing good note reading skills requires quick access to the notes without constant referral to the mnemonic. Then there is the problem of remembering which memory device is used on which staff and whether for lines or spaces. Learn to read notes by their relationship to know places on the staff. With the use of some specific guide notes, all other notes can be related by skips or steps from the guide notes. Please take a look at the discussion under the topic MEMORIZING BASS NOTES posted on April 6, 2011.

for the bass clef you should use 'Good Boys Deserve Football Always' for the notes on the lines and 'All Cows Eat Grass' for the spaces.Hope it helps
