About

Bruno the bear plays the tuba, and his low notes live on the bass clef staff. In 15 scenes, students tap the staff to learn the line notes (G, B, D, F, A: Good Boys Do Fine Always) and the space notes (A, C, E, G: All Cows Eat Grass), clip letter pins to notes, pick letters from a dropdown, put the line letters in order, match staff places to letters, compare the bass and treble staffs, and catch the space letters on a moving belt. The ending shows separate scores for lines and spaces. A follow-up to Spooky Staff: Name the Treble Notes.
