How to Read Notes (Easiest Method)

Read Notes Cheat Sheet Here: bestpianoclass.com/notes
What’s up my piano friends! In this lesson we’re going to learn to read notes on piano using sheet music and play them on piano, in the easiest, most simple step-by-step tutorial possible that even a beginner would understand quickly. There’s going to be a couple secret tips along the way to effectively memorize the basics (you’ll see what I mean), and you’ll be reading music like a John Ogden in no-time.
We’ll cover not only the notes of the grand staff: treble clef which gives you the hight notes you play with your right hand, and bass clef (which gives you the left hand bass notes), but also how to read music when there’s notes above and below the staff (using ledger lines), and the rest of the black notes (accidentals), sharps and flats, everything you know to read better and faster. And you’re gonna need every single one of them, especially when you have to play both hands (which can be a challenge of course).
Oh, and we’ll also cover note lengths and rhythm (think, quarter notes, eight, half, whole, and sixteenth) so you know WHEN to play them based on your sheets. And we’ll also talk in a future video about a cool app called Sight Reading Factory that’ll help ya out a ton taking it from beginner to intermediate to advanced, to insane, and help you pass the abrsm if you need to, going from Grade 1 to Grade 5 to Grade 10 as fast as possible, or if you need to learn for an audition, exam, quiz, sight reading competition, or to play in a band or something like that. This tool is better than any sigh treading book imo, and you can use it to play Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Liszt or any other composer, in any genre including hymns, pop, classical, organ, orquestra music, or jazz. It’ll give you sighreading drills, exercises, and examples to help you get there as frustration free as you can. It’s better than the Paul Harris books by far in my opinion.
There’s also a tool we’ll talk about in step 5 that’ll ramp up your sight reading faster and more efficiently then anything I’ve ever come across (faster than using the “do re mi” solfedge system). Part of the battle is not only “knowing” them, but also being able to read notes fast, and that they’re SOLID, i.e. we need to make sure our I’s are dotted and our T’s are crossed. You’ll get a top down view of all the notes of the keyboard to make it simple, so you can see the exact demonstration of what I’m doing, explained to a T.
For example, using intervals to learn, key signatures, melody notes, or anything that helps you on your piano journey, going from Level 1 to Level 4 to Level 12 in no time (better than the Landmark Method, RCM, ect), and giving you lots of resources along the way.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
00:00 Intro
00:23 Step 1
03:41 Step 2
05:18 Step 3
07:28 Step 4
09:18 Step 5 [IMPORTANT]

This is probably the best explanation of reading music that could ever be created. I've been playing the keyboard for fun and had no intention of learning to read music.
Until now...This is explained so clearly that I started to understand it all. I think it's very possible that you are the best piano teacher on TH-cam, and this lesson definitely deserves a special mention.I'm glad I could watch it.
Thanks a lot, man.

Hi Zach,
This youtube video is really great.
On the last Step(5), the link refers to your previous video The Best Piano Sightreading Tool. That video (and the tool in this case) is pretty old.
Do you plan to update that material?

[@adamguitar1498]

The biggest problem with learning to read is keeping track of so much information at once, left hand right hand, remembering notes, rhythms, intervals, posture, etc.
Granted working in levels aims to make this process much simpler. Having students also write music out is helpful for learning to read. Works wonders in terms of reinforcing what we're learning.

[@Luis_z16]

Can you try yashua English version

[@Akash_official_1122]

Please, 🙏 Can you tell me the playlist from lesson one so that I can learn piano?

[@becomeapianosuperhuman6765]

Sure, here's a good start: th-cam.com/video/4SXQ_wlbWog/w-d-xo.html

[@myy1008]

gibidy face (GBD FACE) is easier to remember imo. it's also faster than mnemonics.

[@Acedog8]

Hey what do you mean? I'm keen to know more

[@davedavem]

Accidentals is such a strange word to use... "Yeah, it's sharp, but it's nobody's fault..."

[@Musical_Magic2023]

I don't know where you learned the words to use for the "acronyms." The much easier way is "every good boy deserves fudge" and "good boys deserve fudge always." This way you're not having to memorize 2 TOTALLY different things confusing you even more.
As for the sharp and flat, the easiest way to remember that is that a sharp nail goes up and makes the tire flat, making it go down.

[@Acedog8]

Nice one. Thanks for your comment :)

[@AuntPreble1]

Not too good for dyslexic peeps

[@Musical_Magic2023]
