The Music world has long made use of mnemonics to help students in remembering the orders of notes. There are many fine examples; I will list a few.
FACE — The order of the spaces in the treble clef.
All Cows Eat Grass (ACEG) —The order of the spaces in the bass clef.
And then one for memorizing all the various types of scales:
I Don’t Play Like My Aunt Lilly
(Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolodian, Aeolian, Locrian)
4. MUSIC MNEMONICS
There is a popular belief that learning and remembering information can be enhanced by setting the information to music. In a country like India, where hundreds of movies are released in a year and each movie has an average of 4 songs, music plays a very important part in our lives. Advertisements on radio and TV use music to help potential customers remember their products when shopping. It has been noticed that with sufficient repetition of ads, the shopper starts reciting an oft-repeated phrase from the commercial or starts singing the lyrics of the promotion melody. This has resulted in increased sales of the product.
The most recent example is of the new advt. of ‘Honda’ in which the brand is promoted through a song ‘Dekho dekhe yeh zamana…’ This song has a great recall value not just with grown-ups but with kids. As soon as they hear this song, they know it’s a ‘Honda’ ad.
Some other examples of famous advertisement slogans are:
Amul : Utterly butterly delicious! Amul!
Cadbury : Kuch meetha ho jaaye!
L’oreal : Because you’re worth it!
McDonalds : I am loving it!
Thumbs Up : Taste the thunder!
Siyaram : Come home to Siyaram .

From the time we are two-years-old, we learn how to memorize things by singing mnemonics, For example , everybody knows the ABC song! We learn to memorize ABC at a very young age. According to an online survey at squidoo.com , when memorizing the ABCs, 67 percent used the ABC song, 12 percent memorized it with a rhyme, while 7 percent with no rhyme or song and just with flashcards.
By putting a simple melody to the ABCs, we were all able to memorize twenty-six letters in no time, that too at such a young age! So why can’t we use this technique while memorizing when we are older?
In India, it is a common trend to compose devotional songs to the tunes of popular Bollywood numbers. Has it ever happened with you that while listening to that devotional song, the original song comes to your mind? You can recall the exact lyrics of the original song just by hearing its tune. Similarly, in case you have to memorize a lot of text in a short time, you can put it as lyrics of your most favourite song and sing it over and over again. So whenever you will think of the original song, the new lyrics will come to your mind.

Disney even caught on to the idea of teaching through song in an episode of ‘Hannah Montana’ released in 2007. In the episode, Miley must learn bones of the human body in order to pass her midterm exams. In order to do this, she figures out that it’s easiest to memorize them if she puts them in place of the words of one of her songs.
