Learning the piano, but don't know how to read notes?

Question

I'm trying to learn how to program music into my anvil studio, but I'm having a hard time doing so because I don't know how to read music. Do you know any sites that contains sheet music with the notes labled. Like if a note is "A" then it has it labled. I must learn to reconize the notes before I can do anything with them, and I think that this might be a good step in the right direction. Your help is greatly appreciated.

I'm afraid the only way to learn the notes is practice, practice, practice. But my kids' piano teacher uses flash cards with them. Take eight (or sixteen) index cards. Draw (or cut out and paste) a five-line staff, and be sure to add the clef (you can learn how to draw a treble clef or bass clef at many beginning music sites). Then put the note in. On the back of the card, write the value of the note (A, B, C etc.) You can "quiz" yourself by flashing the staff side, guessing, then checking your answer. This would be small enough you could fit it in your purse, and quiz yourself while waiting in line at the grocery store, etc.

Good for you for learning how to read music! It's not impossible -- it just takes time and persistence. I started piano when I was 34, so I have some idea about the effort involved. (-: Good luck!

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

Here's how to read music:
treble clef (the one on top with the extra pretty squiggly mark)--
Start at the bottom line and remember this phrase:
Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge. The first letter of each word is the corresponding note for each line as you go up. The spaces, starting at the bottom, are FACE.
bass clef (the bottom one with the comma like thing)--
Starting at the bottom line, use this phrase:
Good Boys Deserve Fudge Always. Same principle as for treble clef. The spaces, again from the bottom, are ACE-G.
That should get you started. Have fun!
