Improve your note reading at the piano! There's an easier and faster way to read and remember the notes in your piano music. If you want to improve your note reading so that you can sight read more songs on the piano, you DON'T need to memorize every note in your music in order to read piano music faster & easier.
I've watched this method of reading piano sheet music do amazing things for beginner piano students! Instead of feeling overwhelmed by trying to learn every single note, this way of learning how to read the notes in your music makes learning and remembering the notes feel SIMPLE & FUN! Woohoo! When you can read the notes in your piano music in an easier way, you won't get discouraged when you sit down at the piano to play sheet music. You will be able to play more songs at the piano (yes, even as a beginner!) and you'll have so much more fun.

The biggest problem I have is when notes go way above or below the staff. It's difficult sometimes to read notes like these. This video is very helpful.
Just use A C E as a baseline. The three ledger lines above the treble clef are A C E with the second line being C. Below the staff on bass clef works the same with C being the second ledger line below and A being the third below that.
Very true
Those are Ledger lines. Yes they can be tricky. There’s tutorials just for those too :)
Where do you find songs with only these notes?
Make it up.
she said at the end of the video that she’s put it in the description
Video starts at 00:47
Thanks😭😭😭
no, the video starts at 0:00, her remarks at the beginning are important as well.
Ok. A slight correction. This video only covered 7 notes. Middle C was repeated. No worries. I'll play through and see how the technique works.
Excellent lesson
Thanks for watching!
Otherwise known as intervalic reading and I totally agree. It is the essence of reading notes. And not just sequentially, but also seeing a thick vertical stack of notes and recognizing instantly what kind of chord or harmonic structure you’re being asked to play. Composers and conductors have to deal with the alto and tenor clefs as well as instruments that are written in a different key signature. Intervalic reading allows them to move fluently between the floating note values on the staff.
A good demo of using landmark notes as a reading strategy. 👍 Always excellent advice to practice consistently from day to day. This repetitive effort makes it easier for both our brain and our physical muscle memory to recall what’s learned. Makes it much easier to recall these landmarks and intervals (distances).
What a wonderfully clear tutorial on landmarks and intervals (steps and skips) and practice tip for new and returning piano learners!
Loooove your tip for flashcards AT the piano so learners get familiar with WHERE the notated symbol lives at the keyboard!
Wonderful that you include a pdf practice download! Bravo!
Someone who’s play piano for over 20 years and STILL can’t insta-read sheet music to save my life, I appreciate anything that can help, so thank you!!
I’m so glad to hear that you found it helpful!!! Do you normally play by ear?? Also an amazing skill!
WHY isn’t Everybody taught like this? I have struggled with and HATED sightreading for 30 years and all I had to do was this 🥴
Lovey you are speaking too much too fast just like raindrops overwhelming a person caught in the rain. Please please learn to speak slowly without repeating yourself. Frankly I had to slow down the video to 0.75 to make any sense of it.
nice lesson, thank you
I need to learn the notes above and below the lines.
Thanks so much for help!!
You’re welcome! Just sent a response to your email :)
Wow you really simplified this , thank you so much for encouraging
Next, talk about notes with 5 or 6 ledger lines. 😄 Btw, a friendly tip: You might want to reconsider the way you edit your videos. In the parts when you look into the camera, it's non-stop talking with no natural breaks.This is due, no doubt, to the numerous edits that have been patched together, creating a jumpiness and continuous "wall of sound." It's not how people naturally speak, and it creates ear fatigue, at least for me. I realize a lot of people cut videos in this way -- rather than doing better takes, they edit out their botched takes and paste together numerous cuts, but the end result is something that sounds frantic, and it's annoying. When your camera is on the keyboard, however, you sound much more relaxed, because it's one complete take.
Haha, thanks for the feedback. I have to keep it moving with the video because people’s attention spans are basically non existent these days 😆
@@ThePianoPath I hear ya. Most people do, indeed, have the attention span of gnat, which is sad, but you have good content. Be confident in that, and don't feel that you have to rush it. Some people do drone on too long before getting to the heart of the video, but it's just finding a good balance. I hope I didn't appear overly critical. At some point, you might want to pretend you're a viewer watching the video for the first time, and see what your impressions of your video are as you watch with fresh eyes.🙂
Not super new but an interesting approach. Thank you.
Unfortunately there are no free downloads available here! I've checked every link, followed the steps and have not received anything. Kind of misleading information.
Hmm, I’ve had lots of people download the free guide in the last couple of days! Is the link to working for you? Here it is again to try! www.thepianopath.com/snrw-37-opt-in?r_done=1
Eight notes? You only play three. C, G, F. Did you mean to say eight piano keys?
Please give me an example of a piece of music that only has these 4 notes. 😂ill wait. C-G-C-F in the left ANd right hand.
They are actually 8 notes! 4 for the right hand, 4 for the left hand. And I actually couldn’t find any music so I wrote my own practice songs that uses just the 8 notes 😊 I have an example of one of the songs if you download the free note reading guide (linked on the video) hope you find it helpful!
In Indonesia we called not number
This is good knowledge I'm self taught. Awesome thanks
So glad to hear that it was helpful for you!!! 😊
Good information. Your keyboard must be old. I can hear the clunk or thump every time you press a note and it lifts up. Your keys need adjusting or its time for a new keyboard. I've been there.
Yes, I think it is quite old! I’m not the original owner, I bought it off of FB marketplace so I’m not sure of it’s history. I’ve since upgraded to a new keyboard and it’s made a world of difference! 😊
Terimakasih vidio ini membantu saya dalam mempelajari piano
How do we find music with only the first 8 notes?
Hey Carla! Right now, music with just the 8 notes is inside my workshop (The Simplified Note Reading Workshop) unless someone else has arranged some new music - I might release the songbook as a PDF that people can purchase separately in the future!
@@ThePianoPath Use any music that has those notes and skip the other ones.
Very helpful video, I always straggle to read
Love this, definitely will be doing your workshop next month, I’ve tried your moonlight sonata piece and was able to but I noticed I’m quite slow going from from note to the next. Looking forward to try your work shop soon! 💕
YES!!! I can't wait for you to join. I'm actually updating it to make it even better so you're going to love it! And I LOVED hearing you play Moonlight Sonata on IG, woohoo!!!
How bout a few examples of the paper that only uses the famous 8… please
Sorry the delay! I have an example of music with the 8 notes in the free guide linked in the description 😊
An explanation into why the specific 8 notes would have been helpful. Thanks. Subscribed.
Yes, please explain why these notes. I kept waiting for the explanation.
The only way I can read music faster if my seeing eye dog gets a caffeine fix.
Where exactly do I find this free sheet music w just these notes that you promised?
Hey!! The sheet music isn’t free, but you can find a sample song to try inside my free note reading guide! It’s linked in the description 😊
Thank you, This is fantastic. I’m sick of “well the note is on the 3rd line up,every good boy does fine”. I will put these eight notes on tabledit for string instruments. Additionally will be able to hear the spacing of the notes which will help playing by ear.
Hi!! Glad that you found it helpful. YESSS that is exactly why I stopped teaching using those methods. It made for some very slow, often confused reading.
I need to read the ledger notes quickly above high C without counting.
Ledger lines are tough!
Love it!! And I love your smile and enthusiasm of reading sheet music!! Your suggestions and encouragement are exactly what so many people need right now for learning the piano!!
Finally, learning some real methods!
I like step/skip… I call mine dot/dash, but I’m a guitar dood
Thanks for sharing. Good content.😢
So I DON'T write down the notes on my sheet? If there's a middle C, I don't write down C below or above it, right?
Can you recommend a song to practice that only uses g and c?
Sounds really promising!! Thank you for the info and the positive vibes.
you’re so welcome! It’s helped a lot of people read faster so it makes me happy knowing that others are finding an easier way! 😊🙌🏻
Recently started taking lessons and I notice that I have the habit of just playing my memory and sound rather than actually reading the notes 🙈
Could this be of some use to Our Romilly?
I wished someone would have told me that Autumn leaves contains all the alphabet notes in chords. Learn this song hands together, then without looking at your hands and you shall master the piano!
Huh?! I’m confused with what you’re saying here.
@@ThePianoPath The Song Autumn Leaves has every letter of the music alphabet A-G. If you play both hands together, chords only, starting from the middle octaves, master them, then master them blindly. Then one octave lower, both hands together, then one octave higher from middle. You intrinsically from your mind will know where every note is on a piano, blindly. So, just crawling to walking, it becomes second nature.
Im curious of the other types of distances other than the 4 you mention.. what are those? Can somebody give me a clue?
Please, show me from the beginning, mean, how to start to play, ill follow you're Chanel, 1st step 2nd step etc
Hi and welcome!!! Here's a link to my beginner piano lesson that will be a good place to start :) th-cam.com/video/oQdTAsY7nQE/w-d-xo.html
OK 🙋♂
do I need to know which fingers to use??
Not for me as it's too advanced. We are are at the basis. B C F were do these show up on the sheet music is not well explained.
Your channel has been really helpful. What are some examples of songs that only use these eight notes?
I get distracted by your beauty; I cannot read the interval of notes.
Thank you, such a great way to think about it! Subscribed!
Thanks this videos.
You're welcome! Are you learning how to read sheet music at the piano?
It would be great if you sell your course on Udemy
Honestly, this is the most useful tutorial on TH-cam for learning to read notes! Tfs!!
Ahhh what an honor! I’m so glad to hear you found it helpful 😊
OK but what sheet music would only use those notes?
Can I pay with Apple Pay instead?
Bon.
I find it difficult to play my left hand
what are songs that only use those 8 notes?
No, read the lines and locations
What I like most about this video is that you don't do any de-tours into mnemonics. So for me this seems much more on point, using only the sheet and the piano keys as reference points for your explanation. Imho your videos would be even better with less cuts (maybe your analytics tell you otherwise, so just personal preference).
I don't think this way works for the brain. Brain works faster if you memorize every location and let it do reflexes when you play. Your way is forcing the brain to think of the relational location of the notes. Which is an extra step. I am a newbie, I don't know if I am correct or not, but I don't want to be misleaded either.
Thank you!! Great tips for us beginners - i'm reacquaintening myself w my guitar and in doing so reverse-translating to piano to better understand the formation of different chord types i.e. 7th, 9th etc and now back to t'beginning w sheet notation...t'long way around? yes indeed and such a fun process for me personally plus it allows me to learn different ways of thinking from you all
real nice lesson..
Thanks for watching! Are you learning to read sheet music?
@@ThePianoPath It's not for me is for my
grandchildren, for when they will be ready to study, I'm doing some homework for them.
I have developped a color method for reading my staff quickly ! I underline each note on my staff with a color I have defined ! I know where they are on the keyboard ! The problem now is how reading and playing at the same time without loosing the staff or the keyboard ?
How does one find sheet music that only uses these 8 notes?
I’m not sure if anyone else has written some yet, but I wrote some that I use with my students! If you download the free guide, a page will pop up to purchase my collection 😊
not content related but are u related with Ms. Rachel? u seemed like youfe her long lost sisters😂
Hahahaha no relation!!
congratulations, really great method!
I loved your tutorial but I am not getting the free download. I have filled In the link to the page but it hasn’t been sent to my email or junk.x
Oh no! Sorry about that. Let me check on my end to see what’s happening and get back to you!
Hi! Okay, I checked and it looked like you signed up, but the email couldn't be delivered (sometimes that happens if the email address isn't typed correctly). I have janetpowell41@btinternet.com in the system. Is that correct?
Excellent presentation!
What I'm struggling today is reading the music with 2 staffs. I can easily read and play this if I only play one staff. I need lessons that I can combine those 2 staffs.
Aside from the one on your site, do you have any other suggestions for sheet music that only use these notes??
I normally play by ear but i also find sheet music hard , this acc helped a bit
How does the workshop work?
Hi Jose! The workshop is a self-paced program that includes 6 days of practice songs/exercises to get you using this method to read sheet music faster. There are videos with step-by-step tutorials as well as access to sheet music to practice. You can go at your own pace and you have lifetime access to return to the material as much as you need. Let me know if you have any other questions! You can also send me an email at hello@thepianopath.com if you need anything :)
Just curious, but why those 8 notes specifically?
My God , Your a Genius !
Where do you get sheet music with these 8 notes? Any suggestions?
I have written my own collection! You can find a sample of it by downloading the free note reading guide below. Not sure if anyone else has written sheet music with just these 8 notes since then, but it’s worked really well with my students :)
heres another video for extra help th-cam.com/video/-3WuQxnA7Hg/w-d-xo.html
1. 8 notes at the right hand and 8 notes at the left hand
Where can I find sheet music with those notes?
I created my own collection to help you practice! If you download the free guide you’ll see the option to purchase if you’d like

But only of they only have 8 notes ....sheesh
Be the inventor.
Be the inventor of…..?
👏👏Well done madam teach me more pls🤔🤔
Excellent. This is exactly how my brain learns best.
Like
looks very interesting and logical,
only the workshop is announced 12.- $ more than announced!
this is not to be trusted unfortunately :-((
Hi! I offer a special deal for anyone who downloads the free guide to get it for $37, otherwise it’s $49 on my main page. Not sure why that makes me untrustworthy because I offer a discount? Lol I’ve had dozens of students go through it and love it, because this method actually works! Hope you find something else that works for you in your budget 😊
do re mi fa sol la si they are seven notes
Just a clarification which fingers are to be used … as we remember locations I assume we will use a finger associated with it
Actually, there's not one specific finger that you'll use for each note. It's more so knowing *where* the note is and then looking around at the other notes in your music to see which fingering makes the most sense (if there aren't any finger numbers written in)
Guide notes. DUH!!
Starting from the middle of the keyboard with both hands and spreading across reading in both clefs with a correct technic holding the weight of your hands from the back with no locked arm joints is the fastest way with lots of patience and persistence.
It will take years but eventually will produce results.!
That's the only best way.
No magical tricks
SWEETY THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR GREAT
New subscriber 👍👍
Welcome!!! 🎉 Glad you’re here! Are you just getting started at the piano or have you been playing for awhile?
@@ThePianoPath started with many hopes ☺️ thanks for the concern.
Wow!! The editing of this video is HORRENDOUS. This info is great!
This is a really important piece of advice. I have been learning the piano for the last year, and I think this is revelatory. Could you also make a deeper video explaining how to practice the interval stuff (after one remembers the landmark notes)
I think that would just make it super clear on how to read music
Anyway thanks a ton for this tip!
Thank you 🤩
You’re welcome!!! Thanks for commenting 😊 Are you new to reading sheet music??
I ordeeed this and didn’t get anything. Help
oh no!!! Everything is sent out automatically so we will check to see what's happened. Can you send us an email at hello@thepianopath.com and we'll get this figured out for you?
Thanks for your quick redponse!
It is too super hard to understand these music notes.
Merci🌹
I dont read music sheets ever until now. And i used to teach my daughter a trick, Since i play guitar all i know is to read chords, in order to teach her in just 5mins or less I told her to memorize the number 1-5-8, im not sure if that trick exist but that is my observation on piano keys. And now she can play a lot of song without music sheet
All this didnt help me that much though lol
I understand this on treble clef but do we place bass clef fingering left to right or from middle c right to left?🤷🏻♀️
Lectures too long! Jump into the lesson lady!!!
My channel, my lessons, so I get to teach how I want to teach it! 😊
@@ThePianoPath sure! I got so BORED I went to another channel with LESS talking and more demonstrations , that's REAL Piano Lessons.! They talk a bit while playing piano! That anyone can appreciate NOT just 🦜🦜🦜🦜 talk ten minutes boring ! They are better teachers!!!
@@teedtad2534 Glad you found a channel that matches your style of learning! Best of luck learning 😊
Hi, I was unable to access this 8 sheet music sheet here. Most piano app are becoming too expensive. I now rely on a FREE app and Google FREE printable easy music sheets
I'm now returning to practising daily as I can not afford piano lessons.
Simply Piano, this app does not always recognise my Midi cable. The app does not always recognise my connection. Plus, the app does not always give you the ability to reduce the metronome speed. Each practice song 🎵 lesson should offer print off availability to allow for practice
There needs to be more help in quickly understanding the multiple ledgerlines
The older we are, the longer it takes to learn anything. Children learn so much faster
