I highly recommend you check out this video after this one (This is the Fastest Method to Reading Music): kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKjTcoqYeqijrMk I to into a lot more detail about some of the more advanced reading strategies we talked about today. There is also a new version coming out next week which will include extra context and practice examples.

Hello, I’m starting to learn piano and this video was super helpful. I’m thankful for your dedication teaching in KZbin. I have been trying so hard to self-teach myself and now it makes way more sense after watching this lesson. I can sing and play violin, but piano is on another level. Thank you for the video and best of luck for the next year!

[@dsantos8159]

I will definitely watch this channel to aide in my learning.

[@catherineprice4766]

Ty. Ive just started music theory and this is making it so much easier. Sharps and flats were doing my head in. 😮. I find learning easier with visuals while I listen.

[@fishmut]

The bass clef does my head in , I know treble clef but the bass clef I’m really having a disconnect some how .

[@redredwine1277]

Thank you👌🏽God Bless

[@bobpx]

Excellent!! thanks for this, great breakdown. The 4 rules of ledger lines is golden, great visual. Drill for skill. Like Ringo said- ya know It don't come easy. Need to go through the 'pain' and only then success and acheivement is on the other side. Break on through to the other side.. yeah

Good work

[@doublebangerzmusic]

Awesome lesson. Could you do a rhythm masterclass too? It would be so helpful.

[@marionadams7295]

The best 🎶🎼🎵

[@eyepatch6726]

Some videos tell us to count intervals from scale , some counts directly

[@GeneralWaist]

Great lesson! Question though: what should I Google if I want to find the sheet music for the Andantino at 30:47 ?

[@LessonsOnTheWeb]

[@adelaolivero9966]

OMG I wish there wss a lesson like this in do re mi 😡

[@DeaconsSchoolOfMusic]

Congratulations

[@vigh4696]

Damn, this is interesting and thank you so much for making this video, really insightful. I had like three questions tho being a complete rookie here (for anyone who's reading this and knows it), firstly for key signatures as you mentioned every sharp or flat will be a sharp or flat note depending on it, but does it change or become invalid after every measure, or the change rule only applies if I'm turning a particular note to a sharp or flat? I also assume that key signatures come after a measure bar line (the vertical division). Thanks, Idk if I sound too dumb asking this lmao. And secondly, how does this translate to other instruments like maybe Strings or Woodwinds, Brass, considering some of these come in different scales instead of the standard Cmaj and everything in between. Lastly, you connected two notes via a curved line almost as if it's leading on to the next line, is that legato or what is it lol? Okay thanks for hearing me out whoever read all of this, any help will be appreciated, have a cheerful day!

[@fishmut]

I’m now questioning why the heck I started piano , learning this sheet music is going to screw my brain , I’m not sure I,m going to be able to do this .

[@sbirkkk]

Ikr😞

[@notfojgb]

You remind me of Charlie Puth a lot 😅 Btw , your educational content is literally golden .

My music teach says every good boo desurves food

[@tomgolbert5382]

The quiz should be only one second.

[@Sam-lt1pb]

I always thought b sharp didnt exist? Why isnt it just put as c on the staff?

[@pequenioedgarito3067]

Because the key signature will determine what sharps ( or flats) to be used

[@Sam-lt1pb]

​@@pequenioedgarito3067 that's still a bit too confusing to me at the moment Haha, ive only just started piano

[@martinredrinocalsarinjr.6810]

Why cant we just draw a straight line on the letter c ?😅

[@relicofgold]

Distance between bass + treble clefs is in fact 3 notes: BCD. Distance shown in your vid is that of 13 notes. Ridiculous. For people who are spatially-oriented, this makes it 10x as difficult to learn.

[@bobpx]

no! ledger lines are critical to learn, look at any sheet music, left hand and right hand plays notes beyond the 5 lines. did you see the 4 rules of ledger lines? very logical system.

[@sneakernickel]

This is clickbait. The thumbnail clearly said "how to cread." This video did not teach me how to cread.

[@Simonsaid1.0]

@@Simonsaid1.0…The dude is on drugs , just ignore the ridiculous comment.
