Flash cards then lots of practice looking at the notes on the grand staff. Basically what you do to look at both the treble and the bass is look at the space in between the treble and bass staves. I know this sounds weird, but it works. To remember the line notes you have Every Good Boy Does Fine and F. A. C. E. for the space notes (treble). Bass is Four Average Cows Eat Grass for your space notes and Good Boys Do Fine for line notes. These are only the white keys. Sharps are above the key and flats are below the key. Memorize those tips then get in lots of practice. And I mean lots. Every chance you get go practice. I have played the piano for 15 years. I can help you with any other piano questions that you might have.
