i'm new to reading notes, i usually play piano using ear (though i'm not really a ouido), but i also wanna learn how to read notes, so i wanted to know how to read it right- especially those who have lots of arches on top of the notes and the difference between the sharps after the clef and the sharp beside a note. So frustrating, please help :D thanks!

Get someone to show you where the notes are, on the piano. then, if you are hitting the right notes, you are reading them correctly.



The sharp before a note in a bar / measure tells you that this note is to be played sharp. The sharp sign lasts for the whole bar, so any more of the same note will also be played sharp. Suppose the first note in the bar was F#, on the top line of the stave, and later in the same bar there are 2 more notes on the F line, they will be also played F#. If you need an F# in another bar, the sharp sign will need to be written again.



The sharps at the beginning of the line mean that every note of the same name will be played sharp throughout the piece. One sharp is always F#, two sharps are F#and C#, etc. This is called the key signature.



Everything I have said about sharps applies equally to flats as well.



Even better - get yourself a good teacher.

Mastering the foundational examining skills allows your youngster to focus on knowledge the topic they're examining rather than battle with knowledge what finally resulting in a more satisfying and enjoyable reading knowledge and this is in what this program Children Learning Reading from here https://tr.im/9v8Oy is based.

Children Learning Reading use practices to simply help your son or daughter read and increase his examining, appreciation, and spelling capacity in the first college years.

Even though Kiddies Learning Reading program relies around your youngster learning the small appears that produce up each term there are several phrases in the British language that just can not be learnt in this way (rhythm for example). In order to support one to train your child these exceptional phrases an information is offered to the most common words that must be learned by sight.

That benefit may be particularly beneficial in the event that you and your child are experiencing a specific word. You know that if the word is within the information then it's something that can not be discovered using the Children Learning Reading method.

You need a teacher to show you the correct techniques involving fingering and expression like Legato and Staccato, and to show you proper dynamic expression with the pedals and things such as Pianissimo. A teacher is there to assign music especially for you by evaluating your playing. Most importantly, they are there to CORRECT you and touch your fingers when you are doing something wrong.



Eventually after you learn many pieces with a teacher and receive proper instruction you'll be able to tell if you make mistakes. This is because you'll be able to recognize the notes more easily and the techniques for the piano in relationship to how they look on paper. This comes with practice AND good instruction.



Don't expect to learn yourself with the right techniques. You could be learning the wrong techniques, and you'll never even know if what you are doing is wrong or how to play certain things properly, accurately, with the right techniques, and the right expression. Save yourself the time and effort from learning the wrong way, and get a teacher.



Best regards.

You just have to keep practicing until you begin to see patterns and can read several notes at once. Learn to recognize intervals at sight. Then if you see a C in the bass clef and another note a fifth away, you will read them both together as C and G, or just as a fifth built on C. My sight reading got much better once I took music theory and began to see chords. I can glance at a measure now and see that almost everything in a measure is part of a particular chord. If you want, you can also learn how to play from a fake book using the chord method. That knowledge will then feed back into your playing of regular sheet music. There are several books about how to use a fake book. Just stick with it. When you were learning to read books, first you had to look at each individual letter and sound out words. Then you got used to seeing strings of letters together and could quickly recognize words. You will begin to recognize chords this way too. Eventually you got to where you could read whole phrases or even sentences at a glance. With enough repetition, your piano playing will become that fluent as well.

Many people who want to learn to play the piano are put off by the idea of spending long, boring hours learning music notes. If you are serious about learning to play the piano, the first thing you will need to do is put those negative thoughts behind and start with an open mind. Read here https://tr.im/piano4all

It does take time and yes, you have to learn the music notes, but it does not have to be boring, and it certainly does not have to take forever before you learn to play on your own. Follow these seven steps carefully, and you’ll be playing your first songs independently in a very short time.

Music is a language. It has its own internal rules of spelling, grammar, and punctuation. It has slang, and technical jargon. Some speak it fluently. Others struggle through every sentence.



Imagine that you want to learn how to speak Japanese. Would you go buy a book written in Japanese and spend the next few hours sloughing through it word by word with your English dictionary close at hand? Or would you go find a friend who spoke the language well and ask them to teach you a few words and phrases, repeating them back to make sure you've pronounced them correctly? Which seems like the easiest way to learn? Which seems like the way more likely to result in you remembering the words you learned the next day?



Music is a language. And immersion is key to effectively learning any new language. We need to have that human contact. That person sitting next to us, correcting our pronunciation as we go. A friend to correct us when we say "Boku wa nan desu ka? " (what am I?) "Iie. 'KORE wa nan desu ka? '" (No. 'What is THAT'.) Otherwise we are a victim to our own inability to see obvious mistakes. A teacher is that friend, correcting obvious and sometime not so obvious errors as you go. You'll learn faster, with less effort, and remember the language longer if you're SPEAKING it with a good teacher.

I have found that having a knowledgeable and patient teacher is quite helpful when learning music.

This is precisely why people here keep urging people to GET A TEACHER. Without one, you will simply keep repeating your frustration over and over again.
