Did you get CAGE, DEAF, FEED AND EDGE.? If so you did very well.

?Notes above? the stave.

Now that you have mastered these notes there are a couple of extra ones for you to learn.?? B. is situated just above the fifth line and C. is a little higher still and has one of those ledger lines running through it.

This note C is middle C which you have previously learned to recognize on the treble stave.??

Additional information about middle C.

When you find notes written on ledger lines even higher than middle C on the bass stave,? they are in fact treble notes.? In the same way, when you find notes written on ledger lines even lower than middle C on the Treble stave, they are in fact bass notes.

Fingering

As was mentioned previously, you can in fact use any finger which feels comfortable for any particular note.? The idea is to make hand movement easier, so you use whichever finger allows you to move smoothly from one note to another without getting your fingers tied up.? You have learned that as notes appear higher on the stave, then you prepare to move your hand to be in the correct position for the next note.? If the notes move down the stave, then you move your hand,? looking ahead to see what is coming up next.? Provided the next note is not made more awkward than need be, you are allowed to use any finger with any note.? Common sense is your best guide in deciding what fingers to use in any particular note sequence.? With experience you will find your fingers moving smoothly to position.? What seems strange now will soon become second nature.? And it will happen very quickly if you keep practicing.
