| BASS CLEF |   | – Also called the “F” clef as the dots are placed above and below the line marking ‘F’ below middle ‘C’. – The lines are labelled G, B, D, F, A or “Good Boys Do Fine Always” – The spaces are called A, C, E G or “All cows eat grass” |
| LEDGER LINES |   | Lines added above or below the staff. In the picture (left) both notes with ledger lines indicate middle C. |
