Notes on the treble clef.

Well Always would be above the treble clef line - usually the bass clef is remembered as Good Boys Do Fine Always so maybe you’re mixing them

King Henry doesn’t usually drink cold milk - for the metric prefixes (kilo hecto deca unit deci centi milli)

Not a mnemonic (all the ones I knew are already listed) but I still sing that “50 Nifty United States” song any time I have to make a list of the states

(And for those who also remember it, make sure you sing it right: New Mexico is the best)
