To help us remember the treble lines we say, "Every Good Boy Does Fine". The namesof the line notes in the treble are E,G,B,D,F. From one line to the next is a "skip". Westart on the E above middle C (with a red circle) and we skip a letter name as the notesascend, or go up.Our signal for this reminder is the American Sign Language sign for "boy". Pretend youare wearing a cap with a bill on it. Touch the "bill" and move the hand down and awayfrom the face. This sign for "boy" reminds us that "Every Good Boy Does Fine",E,G,B,D,F, the treble lines.8
***BASS SPACESWe remember the bass spaces by saying, "All Cars Eat Gas", A,C,E,G. These are the bassspaces. The A is the second A below middle C (circled in red). We "skip" from space tospace, skipping a letter name in between.Let's learn a signal. Pretend you have a steering wheel in your hands. Turn the wheel asyou "drive". This will remind you that "All Cars Eat Gas", A,C,E,G, the bass spaces.9
