Almost Anyone Can Learn To Read Music In Just One Day

By Ray Stanley


In just one day, most individuals will be able to learn to read music. Many who believe that learning the fundamentals is a process that will take months or even years will not have the ambition even to begin. This is unfortunate, as most people with the desire will play a simple tune on the very first day. Further dedication, study, and practice will likely lead to an extensive knowledge, which allows this individual to understand and play most sheets.

The basics of this skill are unchanging. The very first thing that students will need to know is the purpose of a staff as well as the letter names of each line and space. This skill necessary, as it is the basis of all written music. It is an absolutely must, in order to achieve success.

Most of us have heard the phrase every good boy deserves fudge. This and the word face are commonly used to teach the notes represented by each line and space of a musical staff. Just about everyone who knows the letters A through G will learn this lesson without difficulty.

Now that the most basic points have been covered, let us become familiar with the clef. It certainly makes the end of the staff look more attractive, but is anything but a decoration. Without this lovely symbol, a symphony would never produce the amazingly well structured masterpieces that exist. Each portion of a composition requires a certain pitch, as indicated by this symbol.

The key signature allows the reader to know whether a sharp or flat is to be played. Confusing the two could lead to a happy song sounding more like a dirge, while a sad song may sound more like a celebration. Ironically, the same note may serve as a sharp or flat depending on the direction of the movement.

Once assembled, all components make it clear that the methods used are not complicated. This is a matter of taking time to learn as much as possible. With dedication and practice, almost anyone can learn to read music.
