Music is one of the primary forms of communication on Earth. Whether the use of tones and melodies developed before, after, or in conjunction with spoken language is unknown; yet music is unique in that it helps us to talk to each other in ways that language cannot achieve.
Music creates a connection between people that is not limited by time, distance, or relationship; a song can speak to anyone, anywhere. That’s why music continually changes and grows, is still loved and still proliferates. Music is a living language.
Sheet music is an important tool for preserving accurately the musical information laid down by an artist 5, 50, or 500 years ago. This system of communication, this language, allows musicians to recreate, and thus re-experience, a musical message sent by an artist or composer generations before. The piano is probably the instrument that most commonly uses this method. Piano compositions lend themselves easily to transcription, which has proved to remain faithful to the original intent of the artist. There is also such an amazing wealth of piano sheet music to draw from that it is a respected tradition for students to begin their studies there. In learning from Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart, a player learns the fundamentals of the instrument as well.
In this free instructional video series, learn how to read piano sheet music for yourself. Our expert will walk you through a step-by-step tutorial that covers such basics as which notes to play with which hands, what key signatures mean, how to interpret the rhythm of the song, and how to sight read without knowing the song.
