Ok heres the deal! I really wanna learn to play Fur Elise on the piano but I can't read sheet music. I really don't wanna have to learn how to since this would be the only reason I would use it. I'm hoping that someone can tell me the notes (e.g A,B,C,D,F,G) because I know where those are on a keyboard. Hope someone can help!

e, d#, e, d#, e, b, d, c, a go down to the next note and go from there

c, e, a, b, e, g#, b, c repeat the thing changing the last 4 notes for (d, c, b,a)

go up from where you are

b, c, d, e

go down

g, f, e, d, f, e, d, c, e, d, c, b ( begin with the lower note those 2 four notes group)

then a bunch of different es...


This seems so wrong being a professional classical pianist... but I just want to help you somehow... you figure out the rest... the rhythm and the left hand...

PS: my 99 percent of myself screams... would it kill you to learn how to read music... ? you can not only read fur elise, but plenty of other music... plenty... plenty... and you don't have to learn rach 3

bye.

There are a number of different ways to accomplish this.

One is to take a piece of sheet music to an instructor and have them transcribe the sheet music into notes on a seperate sheet of paper. That way, you simply have the keys and can understand where they are at. Also, the instructor can help you understand how to transition between the notes if they get complicated. Since it is a small task, I doubt it would take more than 5 minutes or so.

Some beginner piano books have the keys listed instead of just the notation, and since Fur Elise is very popular, I am sure there are alot of those out there. You could look them up in bookstores very quickly by doing an index search and then going to the page to see if it is what you are looking for. The maker of your keyboard might have specific books tailored to it, so looking for books from them might be a good idea also.

I can play a lot of Beethoven's music without the sheet music, so since you know the chords and keys it is possible. Here you go. With the right hand (this is in A minor) press e then e flat then do this 3 times then go down to b then up to d then one down to c then down to a. I know it's alot to take it seems like, but not really. Here comes the left hand-press a then up to e then up to a. Then down to e then up to the next e then up to g sharp.

Sorry, Fur Elise is too hard to learn without taking piano lessons. You need to know the notes. You have to use sharps, flats, etc. It is a pretty song written by Beethoven.

The notes go from A-G. At the left end of the piano the very first key(on a full sized piano) is A. The cycle repeats this way; A,B,C,D,E,F,G,A to the other end of the piano until you reach C. There is alot more explanation, but you should do some research on theory...try ask.com

Okay, i've played that piece, like a very long time ago, and it's hard, you HAVE to know how to read music. it doesn't matter if you know where the notes are, that's how music works. i'm not going to say

"first you do 5th finger then 4th finger then 5th finger again"

yeah right! learn how to use music, then work your way up.

Well first apply with separate hands. Do it again. And once more. Observe individually until that you could nearly memorize it. Then, enjoying it from the but slowly and one measure at a time. Play the first measure, time and again until you get it perfectly. Then go to the subsequent measure and play that again and again. After that, you start from the establishing of the piece and play the 2 measures you just apply and observe that except you get it correct. It could make the effort but it surely's valued at it.

Okay. I have been taking piano lessons for seven years now. One thing I know is that you need piano lessons to learn the Fur Elise.

I'll give you a little lesson on reading sheet music:

Here are the lines of the sheet music with the notes and an easy way to remember them

Treble clef:

F udge-----------------------------------------
E
D eserves-------------------------------------
C
B oy -------------------------------------------
A
G ood -----------------------------------------
F
E very ----------------------------------------

On the spaces it spells "Face"

It says "Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge" going up on the lines.



Bass Clef


A lso-----------------------------------------
G rass
F udge-------------------------------------
E at
D eserve -------------------------------------------
C ows
B etter -----------------------------------------
A ll
G irls ----------------------------------------


On the lines it says "Girls better deserve fudge also"

On the spaces it says " All cows eat grass"
