quentin032000 asked:

I’ve been playing by ear for almost 8 years. I’m good enough to play most songs I want to play just by memorization. I even make tutorials to teach songs to people that don’t know how to read sheet music.
One problem: I don’t know to read sheet music. I know the basis (the notes, the rhythms, the symbols) for the right hand (treble clef). I was wondering if there is a way to easily recognize the notes on the left hand section (bass clef). I’m pretty sure there must be a trick because it would be too hard to master both clefs and to read different notes on different clefs simultaneously.
Any advice ?

I’m having a frustrating time trying to get good at this. I’m getting in the routine of reading at least an hour everyday but progress seems really really slow. i have a few months to get pretty decent at reading in order to get into some schools for music.

is there any advice out there that might aid in my daunting venture?
sorry, for guitar

It was a radio interview and a caller asked a question, basically, “Why do we still teach people how to read music the old slow way that hasn’t changed in at least 200 years??”

The speaker essentially said, “yes there are faster ways to learn to read music, but it’s important to still study classical music” (which I agree with by the way), but she didn’t even answer the question!! If there’s a faster way to teach people how to read music it needs to be taught. I’ve been saying this for years and FINALLY it sounds like people are starting to listen. Music theory, learning to read music, and fundamental music education don’t have to be antiquated, but they are in the normal ways music are taught.
