How Basic Sheet Music Can Make A Great Musician Out Of You

By Robert Gray


The best thing you can do for yourself if you are just trying to start out learning about this kind of thing is to start off as simple as possible. This is such a better way to learn the theory and technical skills required to sight read than to start with something that is overly complicated and takes you hours and hours just to plunk your way through a few measures. When you start yourself off with some basic sheet music, you are definitely doing yourself a huge favor.

Some people might be discouraged easily and have a hard time pressing forward when things get difficult. If this is the kind of person you are, you might find ways to keep yourself motivated when things are at their hardest in the musical learning process. One of the ways that many people have helped themselves is with a friend who is their practice buddy, or by putting motivational posters up on the wall.

Something that you should definitely try to keep in mind is that the more you practice, the better you get. No one ever just woke up one day and was good at an instrument. You'll have to practice it and practice it and learn all of the skills you need in order to be great before you can experience the wonders of having incredible musical abilities.

If you have never even heard of a time signature before, now is a great time to learn more about what it is and what it means. An easy way to explain it that doesn't take a lot of time or previous musical understanding is that it tells you how many beats are going to be in a measure, as well as how long each quarter note will be valued for. Most of the time, four-four time is what is used, also abbreviated to common time with a capital C, which means there are four beats in a measure, and a quarter note receives a count of one.

If you have never heard of what a time this sure is, now is a good time to learn. Sharps and flats will be noted in the very beginning of the piece. It is nice to know that when you start with a simple song like this, you will probably work mostly in the key of C, in which there are no sharps or flats to worry about at all.

If you are not sure how to count out notes, it has never been a better time to learn. The reason why it seems difficult is that you have to get the hang of keeping a steady beat. Once you learn the basics, it isn't that hard at all, and so you'll want to start out with quarter notes, half notes, and whole notes.

You'll really want to get to know the musical staff as soon as possible. This is the key to figuring out which note you're supposed to play. It's nice to remember that the note names end at G before going back to A, so you don't have to worry about the whole rest of the alphabet.

There are many symbols that you might see in a complex score. In something like this, you're likely to only see perhaps a sharp or a flat. These are easy to recognize since one looks like a lowercase B and the other like a hashtag.
