ohh honey, Ive been taking piano since I was four, and honestly i couldn't read music fast untill I was in 5th grade, when I started saxophone in the school band. but, in our school's band, we practice every single day for 45 minutes. But saxophones only use treble cleff, so now I can sight read treble clef very quickly, but my bass clef is still weak! and im in 10th grade now! So basicly, it took a long time. I only finally figuered it out with intense practicing and brute force. (mean band teacher) Dont fret after just one month!!!!!! (sorry I got a little off-topic there)
Oh, and the acronyms can help, but its confusing which ones go with the lines and spaces on which clef. So, remember- the second line up on a treble clef, aka the one that the symbol wraps around, is G.
On base clef, the two dots on the symbol are arond the F line. thats why base cleff is somtimes called "F clef"
Also, try reading flash cards, or go get like a little kids activity book for note reading. You can get those at music stores.
