Bass clef

[musicbabe]

I am teaching a pupil over the summer holidays who really struggles with bass clef

Any ideas for material/books to help?

Not to be flippant, but have you tried speaking in a really deep voice? ;D
What book depends on their ability of course but I am sure you can do what I did and make your own custom built package for the individual.. run at their speed, and lots of praise.

also, make sure that ANY music with a treble clef or otherwise is hidden, so they're forced to read bass clef all the time. Do they play a bass instrument or is it general theory training?

[musicbabe]

I'll be teaching her piano

She also plays flute and sax and has only recently started piano...so she finds bass clef difficult. She is doing theory as well to help

my teacher used to write bass clef notes out and the letter names would make a word and i'd have to work it out. like C A B or something. That really helped me learn the bass clef.

did that make any sense?

I'm a good boy and I don't fly aeroplanes. Wouldn't mine a go though and always fancied jumping out of one. Get them to try left hand excersize off the keyboard..like coordinating etc.. and strenthening the left hand particularly the little finger. Confidence will come and they can do it anytime even when there is no piano available. Be at one with the bass.

Draw out the staves, put the bass clef on it and put all the notes there (ie C _ B_etc)

[tremolo]

As usual, practice makes perfect so after you draw out the staves and bass clef try playing through the notes.

[Matt]

and give your student studies that only have the odd chord in the right hand and rely on the left hand alot. and sightreading tests - lots of sightreading tests....

[tremolo]

I used to remember Middle C was 1 ledger line below for treble clef and 1 above for bass clef. You could practice the notes from Middle C and keep going down. Most of the easy stuff only go down to about 1 octave below Middle C anyway.

Oh, its too long ago. I don't know.
