Learning Music Notes: Exercises

[LegalFarts]

Great lesson! Good Teacher. How about some spoon feeding???:)

[Musicskills00]

Face, aceg egbdf, is a better method!!!i dont understand and its not clear what hes talking about on this!!

[Jaynonymous1]

@Musicskills00 That is correct. FACE, ACEG, etc are better methods. However, this video emphasizes the fundamentals behind FACE and ACEG. Ultimately, it comes to counting up or down from middle C. And I believe that is more important to teach than the shortcuts FACE and ACEG, even if they are more effective.

...am i the only 12 year old here? LOL

[Jaynonymous1]

@mistyangle1 I was 35 when you were born...

[0509killer]

@mistyangle1 do you ask that question on every video you are watching? Ok, I'll play. Am I the only 41 year old here? let's here for folks in their 40's!!! wooohooooo

[deanileifronzzX]

Great instruction for beginners

[cronnin]

Why would they change F from G key. Couldn't they have kept the relative positions of the notes the same, just an octave lower? That's what always confused me. As if someone said: OK now read the text, but lets say all letters are three letters down :A is C, and B is D...etc. Why would one bother learning/inventing 2 different notation systems?

[Jaynonymous1]

@cronnin It gets better. There is also a tenor and alto clef for instruments not high enough for Treble, and not low enough for bass. You don't usually have to worry about it unless you play cello or viola. We need 2 systems because a piano has 88 notes, and a single clef only has 24 notes you can use before you have to start counting lines below/above the clef. With a bass clef, that reach is extended to about 46 notes, and that is enough for most piano music.

[cronnin]

@Jaynonymous1 I have to disagree. Using just one clef would make more notes writable, and it is simple and obvious solution for this problem.

[Kingpin0072001uk]

@cronnin 1 cleff would look a complete mess, and for guitar only less than half the staff would be used as its a high instrument... even the lowest notes are pretty high in pitch compared to piano or bass guitar

[ParkerKennith]

i love u!!! ur the best at teaching this rly ^_^ everyone else makes it so complicated >.<

[jelivan1]

these are the tips that everybody should see.. but of course if one wants to learn the piano there should be some kind of teaching process. personally i find the following course best value:

[cilaimer]

what a cute video <:) haha, but i learned a lot. 

[mat0822]

for bass clef remember All Cows Eat Grass (ACEG)for spaces in between lines (down to up)... and for ON the lines remember Good Boys Do Fine Always (GBDFA) for treble clef remember Every Good Boy Does Fine (EGBDF) For notes in the line... and for spaces in between... remember Face (FACE)... Well this is how i learned in in school

[Jaynonymous1]

@mat0822 That is what my piano teacher said too. I did it this way to keep everybody grounded in the fundamentals. However, the FACE or ACEG method is better for figuring stuff out quickly.

Why sheet music is a bad idea:

watch?v=75dvYWtXd3w

this is better:

watch?v=J-Hh8rDiUjg

[ceinpiano4solihull]

CDE going down? how confusing and daft

[Jaynonymous1]

@ceinpiano4solihull For the bass clef, the reference notes happen to be C D E going down. Or it could be E D C going up. Either way, the reference notes are in the correct place and named correctly. I can understand why you might be confused because CDE is usually a sequence of consecutive notes going up. But it's not quite clear to me why you think it's daft. Your thoughts?

[candykisses443]

gahhh! im trying to learn this but my brain keeps getting all oozy! D:

[Jaynonymous1]

@candykisses443 Keep at it! You'll get it.

[kkarenable]

does any one know the note that go over the 5 lines?im trying to learn piano and i dont understand the the dots that go over the 5 lines thats the only one i dont no ^.^ plz help!

[Jaynonymous1]

@kkarenable In the space above the top line in the treble clef is a G. For the Bass clef, it's a B. From there, just count. If you're not sure how, check out my other video on reading notes by counting. 

[ANGELICAELIZABETH]

I love it!!

[Jaynonymous1]

@ivansabelmazovs Кто мызыки ?

[cjones71857]

Thank you. You have been most helpful. At first I only understood how to figure out the notes on a treble clef but after a few slides in your video it all just clicked. What is the next step to learning to read music after u figure out what the notes are?

[Jaynonymous1]

@cjones71857 The next step is to figure out timing and time signatures. Look up whole notes (4 beats), half notes(2 beats), quarter notes (1 beat), eighth notes (1/2 beat). In a time signature the lower number maps note to beat and the upper note is beats per bar.

[number9711]

@cjones71857 Lol your comment made it click for me because after reading your comment i decided to watch this again and pay more attention to what he’s saying and showing XD

[MrOLIEtheGOALIE]

ITS NOTHING YOU DID BUT I JUST DONT GET IT..

[confusedspirituality]

Very few good people have good heart to share information on music, like you. Thanks to you JAY

[ladynica2007]

i like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zzsniperfusionzz]

thnx m8

[MCDloveHeartDJDanger]

thank you so much! I'm still in 4th grande but I'm homeschooled and my subject in music is VERY hard. You need to read music notes, patter blah blah blah! This is a lot helpful than a teachewr blabbing. xD

[Jaynonymous1]

@MCDloveHeartDJDanger I'm glad you found my blabbing more useful. I guess that is because you can turn me off any time. :)

[remotecontrolsrus]

I wish there was a class like this at my high school.

[123PATRICE1]
