- One of the most important skill sets you can have at your disposal as a piano player is to know how to read sheet music (notes) so that you can learn to play the songs you love!
We’ve touched base on this before with our previous rundown on “How To Read Notes”, here:

It’s been a very helpful lesson for a lot of people, but I was left wondering... how can we make it EVEN better?
There are many different ways to learn musical notation, and I have a few new tricks up my sleeve that I thought might be helpful for new players trying to get a scope of it.

Do it daily when alert and not tired. Stumble, be patient, keep expectations reasonable. Rome wasn't built in a day. You will improve.
Thank you. 🤜🏾🤛🏻
I'm starting piano tomorrow anything I should learn straight away?
@@lastbornrelic3430 humility. lol
@@MelodyMaker what do u mean
do you think one will be able to learn and master reading a score in 6months if practicing 30-60mins a day? and can u really play a music without memorizing and just reading sheet? can i play chords in my left hand instead of notes in the base cleft?
You are the most enthusiastic, most irresistibly charming, and most cheerful music teacher on CZcams. And the way you break things down to make them so much simpler is astounding. Most teachers I've come into contact with give you tiny bits of information at a time and they seem to be trying to make it more confusing... and they never come back and put the little bits of information they've given you together so it's up to you to connect the dots. Thank you nice lady
You are welcome!!
I wanted to say that, but you said it so,...
Agree with every single word!!! 👏👏👏
Yup.
I SWEAR, YOU DESERVE MORE RECOGNITION
Why u here? Levi?
Levi be learning piano when he's not on screen
My wife and I have just bought a piano a and you lisa are going to teach me how to play it. Ps Iam62 ysars old and I had a stroke in October 2020.I adore Keith emmerson and now you. Thank you lady you are going to help put my brain back together.
How is your training going sir??
I'm 68 yrs old and have been learning piano for the first time over the last two weeks only and just adore your style. Thank you! You make everything just fun and fanciful...
Never stop enjoying life
Maam before 3 yrs my music teacher used to scold and shout at me because i was slow in piano so i stopped quickly.and i started to learn in you tube and i started to see your videos. now i learnt piano with your help .
heartly thank you so much uncountable times .you are a beautiful in teaching ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Never work with a teacher who scolds or shouts at you ... that's just bullying!
I'm an Actor/Singer and I've been learning how to read music for a while, this has really helped me get the concept of music, so thank you😊
the most valuable advice I can give as someone who struggled to sight read for ages is to play! the more you read the easier it gets and the quicker you spot the patterns and ideas discussed in this video. you'll build up a bank of mental patterns that appear in each style and you'll learn to not only recognise them but to play them without thought. these tips are really useful but the best way to get the most out of them is to keep reading. good luck!
excellent perspective!
"you'll learn to not only recognise them but to play them without thought".......how long does this take?
@@relicofgold Depends on the persons intelligence, and age.
I've heard 10 years is not an unusual time span in which to learn to be fluent at reading music.@@nam3ey
Another little trick that might be helpful to some is recognizing the fact that even numbered intervals are always line-space or space-line. Odd numbered intervals are always line-line or space-space. Remembering this might help some people quickly differentiate, for example, a sixth versus a seventh. Keep up the great videos.
I'm 24 and finally learning how to play the piano after being in choir for 4 years in high school, and I must say I feel like I have learned more in this video about music notes than I ever did in choir class! Thank you so much!
I'm an absolute beginner and last night I was doing the landmark interval trick on my own and thought to myself "I should just go learn the proper way of sight reading, it's easier to form good habits then break bad ones" so here I am watching this video for help and you're teach me the same trick, I love it!
Thanks I love your videos
If only I had a music teacher like you when I was a kid. To say you are "wonderful" would certainly be an understatement ! Stay being our teacher FOREVER please !!
Hi Lisa, Love your lighting in the video!!! Keep up the great work! Best, Albert
I play a keyboard... Yeah I played many songs using ABC notes but I found trouble finding them... Then I decided to check out how to read notations and boom... I can at least read them now... Very slowly but through this video I know I will be able to pro at notation reading...
Thank you Pianote
Madam you are great, though I have advanced but I skipped little steps. And through your teachings I have retraced my steps. Thank you very much Madam.
OMG! Thank the heavens above people like you exist! I just love your videos! They are so helpful! I just purchased a piano and I learned so much from watching your videos! Thank you so much!
Marvelous. I'm 77 and bought a Korg Pa600 2 years ago. Know chords etc., but am just getting into reading sheet music. I took John Thompson's through 1A lesson book in the 1950s, and love music, but no playing until I also took up bass electric guitar 3 years ago. What a find for retirees with a love for music and the time and desire to want to re-acquaint.
Listening to your tips with great attention here Lisa. I would consider myself an intermediate level sight reader, but bass clef still trips me up!
Its always important to have a refresher!
Because I Always wanted to Play Piano, now with 36 I finally just bought a piano...and then found your channel a few days ago and its gold to me. Thank you for your motivating joyful Videos ..it Makes playling the Piano so easy for me.. don't know, why I waited so Long...its Like the piano and me are Made for each Other (and I secretly always knew!) and you connect us even more! Thx a Lot! ❤️
i purchased my first piano sheet music book of one of my favorite artists Norah Jones. i have started deciphering the notes section by section thanks to you! thank you so much for your videos. literally a dream coming true
This is exactly what we want to hear! Very glad to be a help
Wow I just started learning to read music and this vid just popped up. This was really helpful. Thank uuuu Lisa❤️❤️❤️❤️😊
Perfect timing is what we aim for!
Finally the words 5th and 7th etc now make sense, the way you’ve explained it with fingers and reading music WOW ❤thanks
Your such a good teacher
Lisa is by far the best piano tutor charming beautiful talented and she presents the lessons in a way that seems personal to each individual xx
This is how I read it too! Thank you for articulating so clearly! One more landmark note I added to my memory after watching this video: base F. This is going to be tremendously helpful!
Your enthusiasm is contagious!
This makes so much sense. Thankyou!
So, I've been working on getting better at reading sheet music for years. I have games on my phone, I use the acronyms, I practice, but it's been really challenging to get all those note names to stick to my brain and coordinate with my fingers, lol. Every time I've just gone up or down a note because I recognized the interval I'd chide myself and say "that's cheating read the music!" I feel like this video has given me permission to "read" in a different way. I'm excited to incorporate these tips into my practice. Thank you!!! Blessings
Thank you for making the dreaded 'What IS this?' so much easier and less stressful to understand.
Dear Lisa, you are definitely the best music teacher ever. So happy and crystal clear. Just amazing. Thanks for every single lesson.
🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐
This channel has changed my outlook on my past. I have beat myself up for not joining music class due to bullying. I’ll spare you the details, but I had come to assume I would struggle for a long time to learn or understand these concepts. You, Pianote, have shown me so much and I feel like you’ve brought all these classes I missed to me. Its truly the best learning experience I could have asked for. Thank you very much for your time, effort, and knowledge!
Great Teacher. No doubt. Bless You.
I just started reading notes today. I am truly a newbie, but I like my method better than the mnemonics that everyone else uses. I have two sets like every one else for space and then lines.
LINES:
[F]inal line
[D]awning line (It is rising to sunrise)
Middle [B]
[G]oing up one line above the first line
[E]ntering the treble clef
SPACES:
[E]nding space
[[C]losest to top space
[A]dvancing to top (It is going up one from the bottom space)
[F]irst space on treble clef
I guess my whole point is that it is better to know that the notes by looking at that immediately rather than going through a whole list. However, I totally agree that knowing relative positions is very valuable. So, I totally agree with Lisa.
hands down best piano lessons on youtube, I learned so much!!! thanks from London & stay safe everyone
Ma’am-you are a fantastic teacher! 👏🏼 Thank you!
Thank you so much ! Merry Christmas!
Your style, expression and cuteness really touched my heart ❤ and I'm really love you from my depth heart.
Thank you for caring so much! I am learning SO much just watching your videos. :)
Thank you so much. God bless you and your family.
Thank you in advance for your enlightening tips. May God bless you and your knowledgeable
teaching skills.
I really love your way of educating piano.
Thank you so much!! I used to be able to read the notes when I was a kid (I scored high in music classes) but now it's 30 years later and I forgot all that and guess what, at the end of the video I was able to read the notes all over again!!! Thank you thank you!
When I watch these videos it feels like im on vacation. The way you break it down, the enthusiasm and the overall positivity that you bring with you is just so damn calming and inspiring. I'll gladly leave a comment here because I know that it will tell the youtube algorithm that I need more of this :-) Thanks for good vibes and for the lovely teaching. Slowly but steadily improving here from cph Denmark :-)
Keep teaching in this style.
Wow, you got me reading music! I learnt guitar through intervals, which is THE way to do it and have played for decades to session level but never learn keys. Lockdown is unlocking the piano. So very glad to find a system thats 'intervals for piano' as this just opened the door - immense thanks!
Really good to hear!
How did you learn through intervals?
Your smile its my motivation....🌹🌹🌹
this lady is so cheerful and bubbly even myself as gloomy and nihilist self taugh could relearn everything thru, really an UPBEAT teacher
Very good video, really helpful. Just a friendly tip for your voice audio, you need a limiter or compressor on your voice to control your voice going very soft to loud since you’re very animated (which is great) but jumps in volume a lot on headphones.
Not sure why this channel has not 10M subscribers, there is no better content on the entire youtube for learning piano on a better or more positive way, the vibes in her videos and explanations are unmatchable. My best discovery of 2021 or last years easily. Thanks youtube and thanks Pianote for the grind and joy bringing to all us piano fans!
Great video! It’s definitely “a skill” that you need to develop and reach automaticity. It’s not enough to simply “know” these things. I knew how to read music for two years, I knew about intervals, but I never tried to sightread. I always studied and analyzed the piece before attempting to play it. This year I entered a music school and I had to learn to sightread for our sightreading exams. It took me 5 months of frequent sightreading sessions to put these concepts into practice. But I’m so happy with the outcome. I can sight read simple pieces now! Like Grade 1 or something! But it’s a breakthrough for me, because I couldn’t do that before! I could see the notes, understand the intervals, but playing even a simple piece straight away was next to impossible!
I was stuck figuring out the notes with the acronyms until this eye opening video,,,, thanks a lot!!
My video actually stopped and started buffering....but it paused when you were smiling.
Such a happy satisfying smile.
Just release a complete piano course on youtube...it would make the world a happy place to live in.
Very interesting to learn more with you Liza. God Bless you always 🙏
Thanks Sam and Lisa for putting this on here as well, was able to come back to it today.
Thank you so much for publishing these short videos.
I play guitar and I plan to learn the piano. These short videos are encouraging.
Thank s again!
Great teaching!
Didn't realize my eyes were doing that already!
Thank you!! You're a giftet teacher. Regards from an other music teacher.
i was also taught FACE; Every Good Boy Does Fine, etc... but this is just an easy way to do the sight reading. Thanks for sharing your learning.
Spectacular Thanx 🎉🎉🎉
I am a complete beginner, purchased a keyboard of 61 keys as a hobby to learn. And I am very happy that I found your channel.
Why are you so good at explaining this? Thank you :)
These tips are so awesome!
Cool lesson,Lady🎶🎶🎶🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️
wonderful!
Thank you for this brilliant video! My son is learning in school he’s 9 and competition is tight! I’ve loved piano most my life! But never learnt to read music! And I really helped me out!! Plus.. you are beautiful! X😍
Very well explained! Beginners get more benefit when a teacher goes at an easy pace without rushing it all. Her charts in red are helpful too! Middle C must be determined from.a.startimg point as done here! Good!!
Thanks
You are amazing! Thank you for your efforts!!
God bless you!
Let me share how I learned (and am still learning) how to read notes on the paper and how to locate them on the piano. There are four landmarks on each staff but two of them repeat so there are only three to remember.
Each staff starts and ends with the same two notes: (Ef & Ga if you prefer sounds or words to remember)
TrebleCleft: two end notes are E & F, meaning the bottom line is E and the bottom space is F, and the top space is E and the top line is F. The middle line of the staff is B. And the hi C is the second space from the top. This leads A, D, and G to be derived (and eventually remembered) from these.
BaseCleft end notes (top and bottom) are G & A. (bottom line and top space are G and the bottom space and top line are A). The middle line is D. And low C is second space from the bottom. This leaves B, E, and F to be derived from these.
It seems like there is a lot to remember but the similarities or symmetry makes it easier to memorize. EF & GA for top and bottom of the Treble and Base Clefts respectively; B & D for the middle lines of the two staffs. (For me, B & D are similar letters in shape, especially when you look at their lower case b & d shapes) And C being either second space from the top (Treble) or second space from the bottom (Base), this is easy as the treble cleft is the staff on the top so c is second from the top, and the base cleft is the lower staff so the C is second from the bottom. Other notes are derived from this.
It may also help to remember the band "the Bee Gees", to associate the notes B and G with the second line from the bottom of respective staffs: B as line near the base of the Base cleft (second line from the bottom) and G as near the ground of the Treble cleft (also second line from the bottom)
I didn't mention middle C as this is so familiar, it takes no effort to identify or remember.
Regarding the piano, E & F are the two keys between the double group of black and the triple group of black keys. And G & A are the two keys inside the triple group of black keys. C is the familiar key before each double group of black keys. This leaves just two notes/keys to remember or deduce: the B & D which are on either side of the C.
Thank you, although I‘ve been playing the piano for some years I‘m not as good in sight reading. This gave me some new impulses.
What I always do for the bass clef notes is see them like in treble clef and move them down a third. This is obiously only for the note names and not the height, and I don‘t know if it‘s the best way.
Oh, this is good teaching!!! 🤌🏾✨
Brilliant...Thank you so much for explaining this !!!
I've just started piano and struggled to figure out where the low C was in the bass clef although I memorize the position of high C.
But your video gives me an inspiration. It you assume the middle C as a mirror, the low C is the reflection of high C in the treble clef.
Excelente 😊 I hope I Can learn it because I tried and tried but is difficult for me 😬 I think this is the best way to learn thank you!!! 🎉
I just love all your videos. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! Your way to read the nite is really helpful!!!
Brand new to music totally helped me understand it!!
You are an excellent teacher!
Well done!!!
@Soulful Notes Thank You!!
You're an AMAZING teacher
I love this video. I’m so glad you explained about the landmark notes because I always hated those acronyms. They always confused me! Thank you!
I cannot believe I haven't noticed the bass C being the middle C before! Crazy! Thank you so much for this vid!
You are so enthusiastic and u r the best piano teacher on CZcams I’ve ever seen you are always so cheerful and happy and nice you play the piano really good I’m ten and because of u now I’m able to play most of the BTS and BLACKPINK SONGS
Thank u so much
( ur hair is so cool)
Just one word, best teacher👍🏻
Haven't learned sheet music since I was n middle school. Needed a refresher and this helped so much. Transferring my knowledge from the other instruments I have learned. "By your powers combined, I can finally remember how to play." Lol
This is very helpful! My mind tends to go blank but I know to just practice!!
Thank you for Teaching.
This is so helpful! This is one of the areas where I struggle. Reading music feels like reading Arabic (and I don't know how to read Arabic). I am not learning the piano but I am trying to learn the harp and this is easy to translate for that. I can't wait to get back to it! This video will make is so much less painful for me. Thank you! :)
This is great! I've naturally started using landmark notes but felt like I wasn't learning properly so I kept running the acronyms through my head trying to get the notes to stick. I'm so glad to see you say that I'm not going crazy but normalizing reading notes. Thank you for that! I feel more confident in my skills now!!!
Thank you so much! Your videos are extremely helpful and encouraging :)
Thanks for the video.
Best teacher ever❤️❤️
Lisa, you're awesome. Love your enthusiasm.
Wow, learning to read sheet music for 6 months now with frustrations and this makes things so much easier when learning to play a piece late at night when I'm tired lol.
Thank you, teacher!

Do you have a video on the proper fingering when sight reading from the bottom bass clef to the top treble clef? Still confused on when to cross fingers or reposition hand 🤔💯
@@DJSpinsa pls we need that!
Don't wanna sound creepy but you have a beautiful voice.
I can play violin so I’ve learned to read one note at a time . Because of you i am now going to teach myself piano . The bass clef will be a problem but this will help a lot . Maybe I will sound better than on Violin . I’m 74 and started learning music at 64 yrs . I automatically figured out to map out landmark notes . My favorite first not was B . “ B in the middle “
i am 10 and i have lots of fun watching your tutorials till now i was scared of getting sheet music for my favourite songs now i can search for it without wories its faded by alan walker
Bonjour Lisa WITT. I learned all this in High School and early Freshman year of college 35 years ago. Onward. Merci. Bonne Apres midi. KATHERINE MARSH
Very good lesson! Thank you!!!
Hi, Lisa. I speak Spanish but I like your videos. Thank you so much. Excellent lesson. Greetings since Cuba👍👍👍❤🎹
You are amazing Lisa
