    2 landmarks which I have found really helpful and a way to remember them are: The middle line of the treble staff is B (D for bisect - the middle line bisects the staff), and the middle line of the bass staff is D (D for divide - the middle line divides the staff in 2). I remember which is B and which is D by thinking &quot;D for deep&quot; for the staff with the deep notes, and the &quot;bi&quot; in bisect rhymes with &quot;high&quot;, for the higher notes.

    Thank you for this lesson Marnia! I&apos;ve always been limited to the treble cleft by the choices of the instruments chosen either by me or an external factor. Each &nbsp;day of watching is opening more the scope of the piano and increasing my confidence &nbsp;in where I am now and where I can go in taking on the task of learning the piano.<br>Your methods of teaching are great! Thank You!

    I knew about the landmark notes. But the concept of &quot;borrowing&quot; the lines was new to me. Thanks a lot 🙂 As you mentioned reading music with ledger lines takes time to get used to. But the effort is well worth it.
