Great ideas! A fourth way is to remember that two ledger lines above or two lines below are both C's (2 C's above or below middle C). Then use the skipping method from there. Saves a step or two.
Thanks Tim. It’s a good reminder about the repeating patterns. Discovered today that the first 3 legerlines can slow me right down and below 3 throws me off while my brain decodes it. Much easier to think of it as an extension of patterns such as EGBDF like you mention here though. Thanks
I taught piano and your lessons are the best!I haven't read new music in a long time and needed a brush up on my ledger lines. Your video is excellent and explaining and demonstrating!
I hate ledger lines - especially when there are so many I actually have to count them if dealing with a single note! When a chord is involved, I use that last method. I'd call it the Transpose Method where you recognize the chord and then offset (or transpose) it.
The second method doesn't work for me because I'm a violinist but the last one was awesome. How did I not notice that before? You saved my life. Do you also have a video on the octave symbol above the notes (8ve)?
Hi, Thanks for the lesson! Very useful. I guess, the problematic notes to learn are just those above the treble clef and the ones below the bass clef. Knowing that middle C goes in the line between both clefs (actually, the middle C clef), then, the notes below that middle C begin to fall into the bass clef, and in the same way, the notes that goes over the middle C, begin to be written into the treble clef. C is in the middle between both clefs. One space above is D, and immediately above it you have the first line in the treble clef, therefore a D. Also, one space below middle C is B, and the line below is the last (upper) line of the bass clef, therefore an A. Hope it helps, thanks again!
Like your channel. I was reading some music yesterday and realized that I was rusty. I am working on songs like Donna Lee. It has altered chords in it.
How are you making the staff appear on screen and manipulating the pitch? Is it a specific program? What program are you recording with? As a band director that is now having to teach and create videos online due to COVID-19 I am struggling to figure out a way that is clean and easy to use like yours
I know it's kinda late but can someone help me out I'm trying to make flashcards for the ledger lines so I can recognize them on a piano and music sheet but I wanted to ask does the direction of the stem matter because in some ledger noted examples they use quarter notes and I noticed that if the ledger notes are ascending the stem will be facing down it the ledger notes are descending the stem will face up so my question is does the direction of the stem matter when it comes to ledger notes or can the direction of the stem be either up or down?
Hey students. I recommend watching this lesson next. It's "The Fastest Method to Reading Sheet Music"

Oh! Em! Gee! That last method is brilliant! I never look at it this way! Thank you so much!

I watched a lot of videos on this. Some were incredibly complicated and confusing. Your skipping method is great. Thank you!

first I want to go to piano school after! I found your channel you make me step away from piano school haha thank u sir !wish u all the best !

I love all your tutoriel. To me they make the perfect "refreshing" class.,
funny how I just encountered needing to learn this to proceed in piano learning and this is the day you post a video about it. gr8 :)
You’re my favorite piano teacher on the web, Tim.
Thanks for the lessons :)
What program do you use for the tutorial? Looks very intuitive and I’m interested. Thanks!

This video has made future sightreading so much faster for me now.
The simple thing. Put the letters on the sheet music 😂
Imparting knowledge is very important and giving whole hearted importance in teaching is really embedded in you. Splendid explanation.
👍🌹🌹
I prefer the counting method! I wish you would of explain it ether and slow down for new people like me
Another tip is that an octave starts on a line and ends on a space, or vice versa

Thank you for this video! What software are you using to write on the staff?
After reading lizst (yep just reading not daring to practice it) i couldnt read the ledger line and realized i might need to learn to read ledger line
Thanks ledger lines were quite annoying nearly blind counting them 😄
video starts at 2:03, your welcome
lol Ty
Third technique is quite handy. I am still struggling with sight reading but getting better by the way
Like your channel. I was reading some music yesterday and realized that I was rusty. I am working on songs like Donna Lee. It has altered chords in it.
thank you for this! I am learning how to read ledger lines and Im starting to understand the third method
Thank you very good lesson
