Where To Find Basic Sheet Music

By Robert Gray


If you are the kind of person who tends to push yourself too hard and start way too difficult, you might want to take it easy on learning how to sightread. This is because it might lead to a very difficult first lesson. It is best to start off with basic sheet music.

One of the most important things you can tell yourself if you are just beginning this process is that you should never give up. If you just surrender and don't try anymore, there is just no way that you will ever be able to get any better. Tha5 is why if you have some kind of a mantra or encouraging totem to help keep yourself reminded of the grand goals that you are working towards, it can be a very helpful thing.

Something to remember is that practice makes perfect. The more you practice, the more you're exercising your musical muscle and making it stronger. Soon enough, your muscle memory in your fingers will just start putting them in the right spot without you even having to think about it.

One of the first things to learn when you are trying to figure out how to read music is what a time signature is. This will be two numbers, one on top of the other, at the beginning of the song. And extremely common time signature is four-four time, a four on top of another four, and it is very easy to get the hang of.

If you have never seen a key signature before, it might seem intimidating. The simplest songs have key signatures that aren't very difficult. It is important to learn about them though so you don't end up playing a wrong note.

Many people struggle with rhythm because they never learn their note values when they first get started. If you just get to know the whole note, half note, and the quarter note, things become a lot easier from there. You shouldn't try to struggle with 16th notes from the very beginning.

If you're worried that you'll have to learn an entire alphabet of note names, you will probably be relieved to hear that it ends at G. Learning about the musical staff is the first place to begin with this. There are many helpful tricks to memorizing all of the note names on a staff.

There are many symbols that you might see in a complex score. In something like this, you're likely to only see perhaps a sharp or a flat. These are easy to recognize since one looks like a lowercase B and the other like a hashtag.
