[greenjack1959l]

can,t anybody explain things properly? every tutorial for reading music launches straight into jargon, useless to someone who knows nothing people seem to assume that everyone has some prior knowledge,elitist bullshit if you ask me

[micheals1992]

[spikerboy321]

[rjk1482]

Great video. Very instructional. How about adding quarter note and eighth note triplets and dotted notes as well?

[herbapower]

alguem aprendeu algo?

[henryabelardoleon]

no nada

[threeedots]

how can u distinguished the denominator of the key singnature? for example, if 4/4 the numerator tells the beat per bar/measure..how about the denominator of the key signature? thnx..

[LinkEdwardDrums]

the denominater tells what note holds the beat as in 4/4 the quarter note gets the beat, in 6/8 there is 6 beats per measuer, but eith notes get the beat, so quarter notes would be like half notes in that case.

[asunbeam4Jesus]

[AgeOfPisces]

This video helped me understand sheet music better than all the stuff I read online. Thanks!

[akasukikiller]

i get it now!

[livinlife1000]

WHY is it so complicated GODD

[purp0sedrivenlife]

nothing is easy in life everything takes dedication

[Taterlulz]

I just started looking at this stuff... all complicated somewhat... full, half and quarter notes are easy though.... just watch the video...

The whole note (Hollow circle) is a 4 beat note. You count 1-2-3-4 and you have just 1 note from 1, that's a whole note.

Half note, you count 1-2-3-4 as well. You have 2 notes. first note on 1, and second on 3 count.

Quarter is a note every count. 1-2-3-4. A note every beat. Hope this was not confusing but it's the way i interpret all this.

[xToatsies]

This video won't help you read music.. but it will help you count rythym.

[keemonta]

@xToatsies counting rhythm is part of reading music.

[Cytagasm]

@xToatsies and that's not part of reading music...?

[djudgata]

I actually pressed every note to figure out which note it was and finally found the middle C :|

[anovien]

basic and most effective. thankyou.

[sestosestso]

this is great for learning how to count.

If you want to learn to read the notes there's a channel called pianofortemaestro. I think that one is best for learning notes even though the guy is just learning how to make videos.

[Abyssery]
