in this video you're going to learn how to read sheet music as a beginner piano player i'm going to be breaking it down from scratch in a simple easy to understand way let's go so in sheet music there are three main parts that you want to learn individually the first part is the notes second part is the rhythm and the third part are what i like to call the extras now i did want to warn you about something one of the big mistakes that i see beginners make is trying to read and understand all parts of sheet music right from the beginning and then it just gets overwhelming you don't see much progress you'll probably feel frustrated with sheet music and i don't want that for you you can read sheet music you just have to know how to break it into its individual parts so that you can learn it so let's break down these parts individually starting with the notes so here's a sample sheet of music you're going to notice that there are two sections to it so we have the top section there that have five lines and then we have the bottom section which also has five lines now you'll notice with the top section that we have the special sign is called the treble clef and then with the bottom section we have what we call the bass clef all together this is the grand staff and your right hand follows that top portion your right hand's going to be looking at the top portion and your left hand is going to be following the bottom portion notes are written in the grand staff on either a line or in a space like a space in between the lines and each note on the staff represents a key on the piano so for example this note right here is middle c so it's in the treble clef i know i'm going to be using my right hand i would come to my piano and i would play middle c the c that's in the middle of the piano now notes are always moving either up or down on the staff and all that means is when the note starts to move up it's going to get higher so it's going to start to get a higher pitch and you're going to move to the right on your piano when the note goes down you're going to get a lower pitch and you're going to move to the left so anytime you go up you're going to go to the right on the piano anytime you go down on the staff you're going to be going to the left and that's really important because you don't just want to see the notes on the music as just random dots here and there but you want to be able to follow how the notes are moving so that you can get more fluid at reading and playing at the same time we're going to start with just that top section first which is going to tell your right hand exactly what to play okay so let's read and play some notes together so the very first note that you're going to learn is middle c it's the easiest one to pick out it's in the middle of the piano we know that we're going to use our right hand because it's in the treble clef so anytime you see that note you would play middle c so we can see we just moved up one step up to the very next key which is d we can keep going to the next line and play e and then f and then g so notice that when we step like this we're following a pattern we're going line to the next space to the next line to the next space to the next line all right so notes are usually pretty easy to read when they're stepping like this but what happens if they're not stepping let's take a look at this example you can see that we're starting on c and then we're skipping all the way up to g all right and you can see how the distance on the music represents the distance between the keys on the piano alright so that helps us to be able to kind of make sense of how the music is related to the keys on the piano so that's the top section where your right hand is playing now the bottom section is similar in that we still have notes that are either on lines or spaces but the notes change a little bit and this is often where beginners get really confused so stick with me i promise this will make sense okay so notice that for this g in the treble clef we played it on the second line from the bottom now if we were to come to our bottom section our bass clef section with our left hand and draw a note on the second line from the bottom you might think that it would also be a g so it could be this g or this g but it's not and here's why it all comes back to middle c middle c in the bottom section looks like this very similar right so we could play middle c right here and from here we can start moving down right so we're going to start moving down you can see it in your music moving down we're going to move to the left on the piano so this would be b and then we can keep moving down to a and then we can keep moving down to g and then we can keep moving down to f if i were to keep going all the way down i would discover that in the bass clef if i were to play the second line from the bottom it would actually be b so this is something that you want to watch out for because it's not exactly the same in the bass clef it follows the same pattern of line space line space line space but it's going to look a little bit different in the bass clef versus the treble clef another thing to know with reading sheet music is that we're always reading our music left to right just like we would read and we're always playing both sections at the same time so it's not like we're just reading our right hand and then we're reading our left hand separately but when we're playing a song or a piece we're playing them at the same time so we're moving from left to right through our music together so let's do an example of plain notes reading from left to right and reading both clefs both sections simultaneously so if you were to start this from the beginning you'd notice that we just have a c okay so you just play two c's and then notice we're layering on g so this is g right here so then you would play these two together notice we don't have anything in the bass clef so left hand isn't doing anything we just started right hand and then we kept going with the right hand now notice once we get to the next part we have a left left-hand note in there and that left-hand note is just f so that's the f down here now we're going to play them simultaneously because they're right on top of each other there so we would play okay so remember you start reading from left to right so we just read just our right hand and then we added in another note with our right hand [Music] and then we kept layering and we added in left hand like this now when you're first getting started with learning the notes on the staff it can feel overwhelming and confusing to try to remember every single note but don't worry you actually don't need to know every single note you just need to know certain keynotes that will help you read all the other notes so much faster i've got another video on exactly which keynotes to know i'm going to link that down below and i'll post it at the end of this video so you can go and watch that next second part to sheet music is the rhythm and for rhythm there's really only two things that you need to know measures and the time signature the time signature are just the numbers or the fraction at the beginning of your sheet music that's beside the treble clef and the bass clef the time signature tells us how we're going to count the music so that we get the correct rhythm so let's break down these numbers the top number tells us how many counts or beats are inside each measure so for 4 4 which is the most common time signature for beginner piano music the top number is four so we're gonna count to four inside each measure so for example for a song or a piece that's in four four you would count one two three four one two three that would be the beat for the song or the piece now the bottom number tells you what kind of note is gonna get one count so the four stands for one over four which stands for a quarter so in four four the quarter note is gonna get one count inside each measure we would have four quarter notes so just to recap in four four you'll count to four in each measure and the quarter note you're going to hold for one beat or count so basically all you really need to know for beginner sheet music is that in 4 4 you're gonna count to four inside each measure if you take nothing else from this rhythm section that's really all you need to know at the beginning now the quarter note is a pretty common type of note but there are lots of different kinds of notes in rhythm i go into a lot more detail in my beginner piano course play but i'm going to go over just a couple basic rhythms you need in order to start playing beginner music we started out with the quarter note which just gets one count so you'll see some notes written up there we've got middle c and g we're using just our right hand and we're just going to count this out how we would play it so we play one two three four and then it changes one two three four notice that the top note changed so that i was playing c and e instead of c and g so that's how we would count the quarter note now if we double the quarter note we get a half note and a half note we're gonna hold for two counts so we're still gonna count the same beat so we're still going to count one two three four just notice that i held it for two counts each one two three four that's the half note now if we double the half note we get a whole note which we're gonna hold for four counts so we're still counting the same way but we're holding out our notes like this one two three four one two three four we've been doing examples with the right hand but this works exactly the same with the left hand when we're counting rhythm there's no difference between the treble clef or the bass clef right hand or left hand so as you can see we're adding in another level of complexity to our music when we add in the rhythm because now you're not just looking at the note but you're also having to look at the note and figure out how long or how short to hold it this is why i'm gonna sound like a broken record i know but when you're first starting to read cheap music you only want to focus on one of these at a time focus on the notes and then the rhythm you could even start with the rhythm and then go to the notes it really doesn't matter but only focus on one at a time and then layer them together and finally you're ready for the third part of sheet music which is what i like to call the extras now there are a lot of extras in music a lot of signs that you're gonna see written into sheet music that i'm not gonna take the time to go into because you really wanna learn all of these inside she music that you're working on otherwise it will just be me throwing up all these musical terms and you probably won't remember them so once you have a good foundation of the notes and the rhythm then you can start to learn more of these inside the music that you're working on i do want to show you just a couple of the most common ones so you can see some examples of how this might show up in your sheet music so if you see this sign it means piano it means that you're going to play your music softly if you see this sign it stands for forte it means that you're going to play your music loudly and then this sign is a crescendo and this one's really fun because it means that you're going to start soft and then you're gradually going to get louder so if you're just getting started reading sheet music and you're like whoa whoa whoa that was a lot here's what i want you to do i don't want you to try and learn all of this all at once trust me it is a recipe for disaster and overwhelm and i don't want that to happen to you instead focus on reading and playing just the notes in your music first i'm going to put a video here for you to go watch next it includes my quick and easy method for how to read and remember the notes in your music i'll see you over there ...
