How To Read Notes (Beginner Piano Lesson)

  • Sight-reading has never come easily to me. I’ve struggled with it from the beginning. At one point in my early piano years, I had to repeat an entire level because my teacher realized I’d learned nothing. I was hearing her demonstrate the song and then playing from memory, never actually knowing how to read the notes!
    Along the way, I’ve learned some things that have made sight-reading much easier for me, which I'll share in this lesson. As you watch, keep in mind that some people will naturally find sight-reading easier than others. Those of us with strong ears and the natural ability to play without music tend to struggle the most when it comes to reading notation. The reverse is also true for those who are strong sight-readers. Strong sight-readers will often have trouble playing by ear. The important thing to keep in mind is that we all have our own unique strengths and weaknesses and we need to celebrate both.
    Enjoy the lesson!

      I do the exact same thing. And I have trouble remembering what note is what in the music book. I am beginning to think that I am not going to be able to do this. My music teacher says that, even though I am mixing up notes from 4 & 5 lessons ago, she wants to continue on. When continuing on is just confusing and getting me discouraged even more. She says that one day it will all just sink in. Well, what if it doesn't?

I believe reading sheet music will really help me with piano, and this video has been just perfect. Really straight forward, visual instructions (which personally help me a lot), and a kind relaxing voice. Really well made instructional video, thank you!

      We had a piano when I was growing up. My mother played beautifully and I had always wanted to learn. When I was 7, she arranged for me to take lessons and I was SO excited! My enthusiasm was quickly squashed when, instead of the 15-30 minutes my teacher recommended, my mother would make me practice for 2-3 hours at a time. It sucked the fun out of learning and I quit after just a few weeks. Trying to learn now, over 45 years later and it's much more difficult.

      I totally understand what you mean! I signed up for piano lessons this year since I've had my keyboard for 10 years and never properly learned how to play it on my own.
      I thought going to an actual music school with a teacher would be the answer but the first class was such a let down. The first month is almost over and we still haven't learned how to read notes!
      He shows up late, tells students to learn songs from youtube videos and is literally incapable of explaining concepts. I literally had to watch videos on how to properly position my hands on the piano because he couldn't even explain that to me.
      He is the type of person to "show" you a concept rather than explain it. He talks a lot but doesn't say anything at all. Honestly just because someone can play the piano doesn't mean they can teach how to play it.

    I just followed the part two of this your lesson on how to read notes. I must confess there’s a lot of logic and chronology in your style of doing things. You bring your amazing personality into the lessons, and I must tell you that’s superb!! I could watch your videos all day without getting discouraged or bored; you’re just that perfect piano teacher 👏👏
