To Know How To Read Music Is Not Essential

By David Neuenschwander


The art of music does not always require knowing to read it. It is however, a language and like other languages, some people can play it, even without knowing how to read music. The main ingredients are the rhythm, pitch and tone. It is such an arrangement of these characteristics, that it gives pleasure and happiness, when the creation is beautiful and touching.

The sheet, which carries the symbols have a structure, describing the pitch and tone in a particular format. It represents staff, which consists of five lines as well as four spaces. The staff carries mainly key structure, notes, clef sign, time signature and markings specifying the tempo as well as the pitch of every note.

These notes flat, sharp and natural are known as accidentals, which only affect the note in a similar octave, in which it has been written. In times when the musician may want to flatten a particular symbol, the shortcut will appear every time that is used in a position.

The playing field is revealed by positioning the notes and the duration is made known with different annotations, values, and additional symbols. This system uses a five-line staff. The science of reading composition requires following the clef, the key signatures, which identify those notes, which are sharp and flat.

The rhythm measures time frame of the notes and the duration of these notes are very different. These can be whole note, half, quarter, eighth and sixteen note based on the duration of the note.

The measures divide the portion into groups of beats and the time signature denotes these assemblages. Directions about reading music such as tempo and the effects of notes appear above or below the staff. Lyrics are written for vocals. Short gaps are added to bring the lyrics into a rhythmic form.

To represent the changes in tempo and volume, there are certain denotations, which make the composition enjoyable or boring. Certain symbols such as ties, holds, rests, repeats indicate various formats, which help to add uniqueness to the created composition.

The science of reading music is essential; however, it is possible to play it without being able to know how to read it. Knowing how to read it can improve the grasps in theory. It can enable to play compositions, which was never heard before.
