Where To Find Basic Sheet Music

By Robert Gray


The best thing you can do for yourself if you are just trying to start out learning about this kind of thing is to start off as simple as possible. This is such a better way to learn the theory and technical skills required to sight read than to start with something that is overly complicated and takes you hours and hours just to plunk your way through a few measures. When you start yourself off with some basic sheet music, you are definitely doing yourself a huge favor.

Some people might be discouraged easily and have a hard time pressing forward when things get difficult. If this is the kind of person you are, you might find ways to keep yourself motivated when things are at their hardest in the musical learning process. One of the ways that many people have helped themselves is with a friend who is their practice buddy, or by putting motivational posters up on the wall.

Something that you should definitely try to keep in mind is that the more you practice, the better you get. No one ever just woke up one day and was good at an instrument. You'll have to practice it and practice it and learn all of the skills you need in order to be great before you can experience the wonders of having incredible musical abilities.

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.

A key signature is easy enough to understand if you're willing to take the time. The thing that you need to know is that the key signature will be the thing that determines what the notes will sound like, which accounts for the quality and emotion in the tune. The great thing about easier songs is that they will be in the key of C most of the time, or else F, or perhaps G, all of which have minimal or no sharps or flats.

If you are not sure how to count out notes, it has never been a better time to learn. The reason why it seems difficult is that you have to get the hang of keeping a steady beat. Once you learn the basics, it isn't that hard at all, and so you'll want to start out with quarter notes, half notes, and whole notes.

You'll really want to get to know the musical staff as soon as possible. This is the key to figuring out which note you're supposed to play. It's nice to remember that the note names end at G before going back to A, so you don't have to worry about the whole rest of the alphabet.

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.
