Start Simple With Basic Sheet Music

By Robert Gray


If you are the kind of person who tends to push yourself too hard and start way too difficult, you might want to take it easy on learning how to sightread. This is because it might lead to a very difficult first lesson. It is best to start off with basic sheet music.

Some people might be discouraged easily and have a hard time pressing forward when things get difficult. If this is the kind of person you are, you might find ways to keep yourself motivated when things are at their hardest in the musical learning process. One of the ways that many people have helped themselves is with a friend who is their practice buddy, or by putting motivational posters up on the wall.

Something to remember is that practice makes perfect. The more you practice, the more you're exercising your musical muscle and making it stronger. Soon enough, your muscle memory in your fingers will just start putting them in the right spot without you even having to think about it.

One of the first things to learn when you are trying to figure out how to read music is what a time signature is. This will be two numbers, one on top of the other, at the beginning of the song. And extremely common time signature is four-four time, a four on top of another four, and it is very easy to get the hang of.

If you have never heard of what a time this sure is, now is a good time to learn. Sharps and flats will be noted in the very beginning of the piece. It is nice to know that when you start with a simple song like this, you will probably work mostly in the key of C, in which there are no sharps or flats to worry about at all.

Rhythm is a lot easier to get the hang of if you understand what note values are. If you are working with the simplest of songs, you will probably mostly only see half notes, whole notes, quarter notes, and maybe an eighth note here or there. Once you get the hang of these, your musical learning will go a lot faster.

If you're worried that you'll have to learn an entire alphabet of note names, you will probably be relieved to hear that it ends at G. Learning about the musical staff is the first place to begin with this. There are many helpful tricks to memorizing all of the note names on a staff.

There are many symbols that you might see in a complex score. In something like this, you're likely to only see perhaps a sharp or a flat. These are easy to recognize since one looks like a lowercase B and the other like a hashtag.
