Beginners Guide to Music

Reading Notes

The notes for the treble clef are to the right. This is the easiest clef to learn in music. The line notes F, A, C, and E are easily remembered by spelling FACE. The line letters need an acronym that is easily remembered. One I was taught was E-very G-ood B-oy D-oes F-ine. Try making one up on your own that help you remember or feel free to use the method I mentioned.


Try Playing Notes!

Remember that online piano? Well they both have a way to enable letters on the keys, if you press those letters corresponding to the notes on the right you will have successfully played all of the white keys of the keyboard. You can try playing these in any order and maybe even make your own small catchy melody with it.
