Ebonic Mnemonic
Concerning the treble clef, The way I learned it:
Every Good Bird Does Fly
The urban version:

While "pedagogue blog" has a nice ring to it, it's a bit lengthy... in excess of three syllables is dangerous territory. If you want this to hit big, and eventually mass market a book as a result of the absurdity that will ensue from this website, I encourage you to update the name to "pedablogue." Note the careful use of the word BLOG within the word, while still retaining the main spelling/meaning of the original word. It's perfect really. A product of the golden ratio itself. Please be a lad and hit me up with a percentage when you win big with that shining star.
