FACE in the Space
Here is the easiest way to remember the notes in the SPACES of the treble clef: they spell the word FACE!
Starting from the bottom space and going up:
- Space 1 (bottom) = F
- Space 2 = A
- Space 3 = C
- Space 4 (top) = E
F-A-C-E = FACE! How easy is that? The spaces literally spell out a word you already know!
When you see a note sitting in a space on the treble clef, just count which space it is in (1, 2, 3, or 4 from the bottom) and use FACE to find its name.
Note in the bottom space? F. Note in the second space? A. Note in the third space? C. Note in the top space? E.
Say it out loud a few times: 'FACE in the space!' That rhyme will help you remember it forever.
