Learning the notes on  the bass clef is as easy as learning fun little phrases.  Lets start with the notes in the spaces.

The spaces are A, C, E, and G.  One of the phrases you can use to memorize this is: All Cows Eat Grass.

And now for the notes that live on the lines:

Good Boys Do Fine Always.  It’s not my favourite phrase.  If you have a better one, let me know! Next lesson we will see all of the notes on the grand staff together with the keys on the keyboard.  Check the worksheet download section for downloadable note recognition practice sheets.
