Ready to learn how to read sheet music? The hardest part for some is selecting the right instrument. Most music teachers will agree that the piano is the best choice. Even if your desire is to learn how to play guitar.
You can pick up an inexpensive keyboard now days for under one hundred dollars at best buy or on EBay. The key is to have something to practice on.
Reading music is like learning another language - one that crosses borders and cultures. The ability to understand what you hear when you listen to your favorite song enhances as your own skill improves.
With a piano we have a set of keys that are clearly defined and repeat over and over making it easy to learn and then apply the music reading to a flute, guitar or even singing.
Another great place to find a piano or piano keyboard is at garage sales. I had a student pick up an old up-right grand piano for fifty dollars!
The true name of a piano is: piano-forte. On sheet music you will see the symbol 'p' which means softly, and 'f' which means loud. This came about because the predecessor was a harpsicord which only played music at one sound level.
Other notations are tell you how fast or slow to play a song and much more which we will get into on our next video lesson.

I really have hard time in learning music instruments. My friend advice me to use music instructional dvds. Well so far I'm better now than before. Thanks to that advice.
