    Not many people release sheet music anymore, as a matter of fact its probably less than 1%... compared to back then, classical music is so free nowadays and you can find multiple writings of every classical song, but having the original is something near and dear to me. Thank you for making the music community a better space, I'm a broke college student but one day I'll come to a concert of yours I promise!

    for 2:34 , a measure is where the notes are located, and in the beginning of a song is where the time signature is (it looks like a fraction)
    whole note- 4 beats
    quarter note- 1 beat
    half note- 2 beats
    eighth note- half a beat

    I know the video is mostly for fun, but cant help as pro musicologist here not mentioning it: the key (hehe) information about key clefs is that the starting point of its writing (drawing? lol) points at which line according sound is placed. Treble clef is also called G-clef and Bass clef is also called F-clef. G-clef points the g1 and F-clef points at f (in lower octave). We start to draw G-clef from the inside and treble clef starts on 2nd line from bottom; f-clef is started from this big dot on the 4th line from bottom (Laufey made a clear point here heh), thats bass clef. Okay, what does it give you? If you are actually fresh to reading musical notation, it means, that you dont have to remember exactly where every sound is - you only need to remember that the middle (origin) point of treble clef, typically on 2nd line from bottom, is g1, and from there you can always go on natural (C major) scale up and down to find what all other notes are, in case you forget. After time naturally you will remember, but sometimes you still have to refer to something to read a note far away from the lines, like g3 :D Worth noting: in particular special cases you may encounter g-clefs, f-clefs and c-clefs on some unusual positions and lines, and thats where this bit of information becomes really useful.
    Btw Very stylish hand writing on the white board
