hi mate box with piano lessons . com
today I'm going to teach you how to read
sheet music now learning how to play
piano by ear we're listening to the
notes that we're hearing and we're
applying it to what we see in the
keyboard now what we want to be able to
do is read those notes be able to
visualize what we are actually doing on
the piano now a good starting point is
middle C
sort of kind of where we start when
we're learning about scales and all that
kind of thing that middle C
sort of our starting point we're looking
at
sheet music now for piano
we have horizontal lines you'll see them
there's two sets of horizontal lines on
it on a sheet of paper there now those
horizontal lines are called steps now
the vertical lines that break up those
steps are called our lines and those
sections are called measures
so we've got stabs with our lines
measures
now the top of those stabs is all of the
notes above
we'll see
the bottom staff indicates all the notes
below middle C
and when you're writing it generally if
you have a staff on top of each other
and you put a line in between and a
circle on it that that circle you could
call the note C
so if thats see and you go up a step
we get to the first line on the top
staff now the first line of the stop top
staff and E
if you skip to the next line oh gee
to the next line be
the next line addy and then an F
well you can remember EG bf4 to help you
remember just remember this
every good boy deserves fudge or food or
whatever you want to put their butt
every good boy deserves fudge
so that's the notes that we find written
on the line and the staff now the spaces
in between that we find clothes we can
look there on the piano we see so the
spaces in between are the notes in
between those one's right there
so f is the first space go up a then C
then eat it spells the word face
eat
so we have every good boy deserves fudge
and the word face
so you're thinking well that takes care
of all the white keys
how do we show when we want to say we
want to make a g-sharp on there
well this is what a sharp symbol looks
like
so we put write the note on the g line
and we would put that sharp symbol in
front of it and there you have it now
for a flat
we're coming down we're playing in the
key of F for example and
we have a b-flat in there how would you
write that well on the b-line you write
a note and you put this symbol in front
of it that is a flat simple
so we'll just let us review that a
little bit we've got the lines that show
us the notes EG E and F then we have the
spaces that shows the notes
f a/c in e you get a sharp symbol and
what that does is if you want to raise
the note i'll just add another point
here we're going to raise the g one
semitone
we're going to raise it so that's a
sharp you put a sharp
now if we're going to lower a note a
semitone the be we're going to lower it
you put a flat symbol in front of it so
now we've taken care of em but that's
just the right hand
now if we go below middle C now we get
the left hand
so on the right-hand the lines were e G
B D and F every good boy deserves fudge
now if we start in the left hand it goes
up step cheese
yeah
and
top
so you could use the same same words we
use there and just say good boy deserves
fudge
always easy way to remember that and
then we get to the spaces so that be
e
g
and you could use something like all
cows
grass just to help you remember that so
we've got
and
hey
those are the lines and now for the
spaces
