Speaking of the alphabet, just thought of another one. Alphabetizing. Pretty much always have to use the song to remember the precise order of the letters.

What I mean is that I can remember where middle-C is and a handful of other notes, but most everything else I have to count up or count down. Each note, one after the other. A little like speaking a foreign language from a phrase book. Kinda slows one down. Oh, and a typo; of course that should be clefs.
