Sheet Music

Remember, the space between the notes in a staff do not correspond to distance in terms of semitone; only in terms of scale degree (e.g. 3rd, 5th)

Landmark system

The landmark system is about memorizing a certain set of "special" notes: the landmark notes

Notice:

Middle C is one ledger line below the treble clef, and one ledger line above the bass clef
- in fact, any C note on one clef is located at the mirrored position of the other clef (middle C would be the mirror itself).
The next 2 notes (Treble G and Bass F) are 4 notes away from middle C.
The next 2 notes (Treble C and Bass C) are 3 notes away from Treble G and Bass F (respectively)

one whole space up corresponds to a 3rd interval

ex. one note on the line and another on the next line
ex. one note in a space and another in the next space
In the bass clef, the middle line is a d, which can be seen as a backward b, which is the middle line of the treble clef
For treble clef, the hugging notes are dog
For bass clef, the hugging notes are Fat Bitch
for treble clef, the 2 outside lines spell out A-C
for bass clef, the 2 outside lines spell out C-E
the note between the 2 outside lines is the same note as the middle line
- treble: b
- bass: d
