Piano Lessons – 2 Tips
November 23rd, 2009 Brian
Piano Lessons – 1: Knowing the following is essential for reading music notes on the staff. The letter names of the treble line notes are E G B D F and treble space notes are F A C E. If you are having difficulty in reading a note, ask yourself “Is it a line note or space note?” If it is a line note on the fourth line, work your way up from the bottom line i.e. E G B D; the answer is ‘D’. Similarly, if it is a space in the second space, work your way up from the bottom space i.e. F A; the answer is ‘A’.This is a systematic way of working out the letter name of a note. Remember that ‘E’ on the first line is the ‘E’ two notes to the right of Middle C on the keyboard, and ‘F’ in the first space is three notes to the right of Middle C on the keyboard.
Piano Lessons – 2: The letter names of the bass line notes are G B D F A and the bass space notes are A C E G; i.e. just delete the bottom letter of the treble lines or spaces, and add a letter at the top. Remember that ‘G’ on the first line is the second ‘G’ down from Middle C on the keyboard, and ‘A’ in the first space is the second ‘A’ down from Middle C on the keyboard.
