The phrase that is typically used for Bass Clef is “All Cows Eat Grass”. This refers to the spaces in between the lines from bottom to top. It can also be a good way to memorise the letter names represented by placing notes on the spaces of the bass. A – C – E – G. This is the Bass Clef Staff with notes drawn on the spaces:
