I doubt that one can meaningfully read a Beethoven sonata using this method. 😉 And it is certainly not the only way to read music and I doubt it is really effective in the long run.
This is super effective and anyone who can sight read well uses this technique and others (like looking at the notes as clusters and not individual notes). Playing songs of that caliber is much harder if you don’t understand how each note in the measure works with the next note and how they work as a whole (what chord is being played if the notes were all bunched up). And for sure it’s not the only way to read sheet music. There isn’t a wrong way.
@@pianopulse I can sight read very well and don't use this method at all. Music notation is like written language, I read the text/notes and the text turns immediately into music in my head, which I can play automatically on my main instrument, the piano. I don't interpret any line spacing between the notes, I simply recognize the notes and thus the music that is written down. With several notes at the same time (chords), I recognize the chord in its respective inversion immediately and can play it on the keyboard immediately without having to count anything. During this whole process, I am always aware of the key of the passage and therefore also of all harmonic relationships. Of course, the technical playing and implementation of very complex music does not always happen immediately at the original tempo. I am pretty sure that other trained musicians do the same.
Very helpful to read sheet music
Yess!!
Can't believe I understood this haha this was awesome for a newbie like me
I’m so glad!!
Love the tips. Makes so much more sense to me,a non musician..
Awesome thanks for this video
Thank you so much! Glad this helped :)
