(I’m from Texas, what can I say..?)
 
Ok so if you want to learn to read music, how much should you pratice? I’ve heard alot of different answers and too many of them are just plain wrong so I thought I’d tell you my opinion.
 
First, you’ve got to make that you’re using exercises designed to teach you to begin thinking musically, not just memorizing lines and spaces… We’ve all done it, it just doesn’t work long term… you’ll only be a slow music reader that way. Also, you want to make sure you’re using exercises designed to help you learn to read music FAST. Anyone can learn to read music eventually, but if you don’t want it to take months and years like it takes most people you need to use a program designed for speed. (of course if you’ve already invested in Speedy Music Reading, you’ve got both of these covered… if you haven’t yet, what are you waiting on?)
 
So once you’ve got those covered you can begin practicing. You should practice 15-20 minutes a day, no more. It’s easy to feel really motivated one and study for an hour or two, but you’re not doing yourself any favors. Study 15-20 minutes per day as close to every day as possible, your results will be infinately better than if you do hours of study a few times per week. Hope this helps!

Before getting into actually reading music, there are some basic terms that you need to know.

 

THE STAFF

 

If you were writing words, you might write them on lined paper or notebook paper.  Music is written on the staff .  The staff consists of 5 lines (and 4 spaces).

Looking at all these lines and spaces seems like it might be confusing, but don’t worry!  There are guides that will help you read the music quickly.  These guides are called clefs and they’re what we’ll be discussing next time!

We already know that the musical alphabet goes from A to G and then starts over, so there are no surprises there.  Remember that bass clef notes are NOT the same as the treble clef notes.  This means that you can’t use the same memory tricks to remember the note names.

 

The memory tricks used to remember the bass clef note names are different from the ones used to remember the notes in the treble clef.  The lines and spaces of the bass clef are different from the ones in the treble.  Remember to start from the bottom and work your way up the staff when you use the mnemonic devices to remember the note names!

 

Remember that each line and space has a number.  The first line is the bottom line, the first space is the bottom space, etc.
