Are you struggling with reading music and feeling overwhelmed by all the notes and symbols? 🎼 Well, we've got just the trick for you! In this video, we'll show you how to make reading music way easier with just ONE simple technique.

The secret lies in understanding intervals - that's the distance between notes. By counting the intervals between notes, you can quickly identify the melody of the song. We'll break down how to do this step by step, so even if you're a beginner, you'll be able to follow along easily.

But that's not all - we'll also show you how to read lead sheets, which are simplified versions of sheet music. You'll learn how to quickly read the left-hand notes or just play chords in the left-hand, making it much easier to play along with your favorite songs.

So grab your piano or keyboard, sit back, and get ready to learn this one trick that will change the way you read music forever.

And be sure to meet me in the comments and let me know what is your biggest struggle with reading music. 🎼

    She explains everything so SIMPLE just cannot go wrong because the way she teaches music 🎵🎶🎵🎶 is NO longer a mystery to me as a dummy! I enjoy her videos 😍🥰🥰 always! Bless this woman!! I will replay her videos again and again!!

    The biggest struggle reading music is not reading pitches; it’s reading RHYTHMS particularly lots of mixed note lengths with sub divisions shorter than eighth notes. Like triplets, 16ths, and quintuplets and stuff. The mixed rhythms make reading the pitches harder than they’d be if it were just straight quarters or straight eighths.
  • @JohnDavis-xk5fi
    I am completely lost in this video. I already knew the lines and spaces of the treble clef, but after that I was completely lost. This isn't nearly as simple as people are saying in the comments.
  • @jezm1703
    Been playing for a quite a while and it's only recently that I started to recognise intervals on the staff. Also improvising left hand accompaniments noting the chord symbols. It has really helped my reading. Love this....way to go defo !!!
  • @moritzathaher
    Wow, the approach you take makes it incredibly simple for people to pick up reading music notation quickly.
  • @sandrafowkes53
    Love your videos! Started learning piano in last 2 years as an OAP as well as guitar. Love the way you’ve taken the left hands and used chords to improvise with the right hand melody. I’ve never liked improvisation because it never sounded like the song and I can’t sing! You’ve definitely inspired me!!! 😀
  • @mick947
    I’ve scoured the internet for helpful ways of reading music, I’ve tried to find ways myself of seeing patterns that maybe helpful to me ..like ABC, B being the middle line( for some reason putting the notes in threes, for me, helps the memory) But I’ve only seen 4 of your videos and each one is a revelation. The techniques to help people learn the piano are just so practical and motivating.. it keeps the joy bubbling away rather than frustration and boredom. Many many thanks.. you have found your forte.

    Thumbnail shows Chopin Raindrop Prelude, one of my favorite pieces to play, especially the middle section, so much fun to play it!
  • @geoffdet9642
    As a complete beginner in reading music, i discovered that reading the notes vertically helps me to improve reading faster for left hand and right hand instead of reading from left to right. My brain responds quicker to what i see in conjuction with my hands by reading vertically.
  • @rickgomez2885
    Reading music for me never was a problem. Playing it was, as I was not blessed with the manual dexterity to become a skilled musician.
  • @diederikvandedijk
    I am a professional piano player and this really helps me reading music
  • @frankpork7665
    I had a high school friend ask me to stretch my hands as wide as I could on her piano. She acted playfully jealous and said, “you could play 9ths so easily!” 20 years later and I finally understand what that meant. Thank you
  • You are such a great piano teacher. Thanks for making these videos😊
  • @leocadelina7146
    Thank you for sharing piano lessons. I spend so much time practicing but only few of the many lessons.youve been sharing almost all day and also in some of the nights. I am a slow learner but I was enjoying a lot even though my left hand is not cooperating with my right hand. So I am practicing piano with my left hand alone for awhile then with my right hand as soon as my right hand calls for its turn to play. I was trying to make both hands work together in harmony without pushing them hard to get along. Maybe, hopefully, my both hands would come together in good terms overtime. Again, thank you so much. We are thankful for sharing your channel, for your genuine effort to boost the moral of those who are not gifted enough of the talent in playing the piano. God bless you and have a nice day.
  • @jogriffiths4797
    I learned 'every good boy deserves fat apples' for the treble line notes
  • @phyllisgordon6577
    Thanks for your insights. Such a blessing! Much success in your teaching.
  • @HydrogenTwoO
    Thank you for explaining how it's important to have both. I think this will be helpful for me, I can read music but slowly, but intervals I do okay (not well yet). Recognizing the importance of both is helpful
