Mnemonics
Mnemonics enable us to translate information into a form that is easier to remember. For example, the common acronym ROY G BIV helps us remember the order of the seven colors in the rainbow. And when music students have trouble remembering the notes on the lines of the treble clef (EGBDF), they often rely on the first-letter technique, creating a sentence out of words beginning with these letters: Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge.
