      Bass Cleff 𝄢 @Anthony Gomes . There are 2 Staffs, one on top, one on the bottom. Top is your right, bottom is your left. The Top on is the Treble cleff. Left hand plays the lower notes, hence the name Bass Cleff. It looks like this: 𝄢

      Thats what I think also atm. I can also imagine it will become easy eventually. But for now I agree. Maybe if I slow a 120 bpm song down to 10 bpm lol.
      I think it’s like children that are just learning how to read. “The.....bbbbear.....wwwalks......in......the.......fooorrest......and......the........bbbbbirds..” etc. Might take me some weeks, maybe months, hopefuly not years lol. Depending on how much practise time I can create.

    • @bertjesklotepino
      @bertjesklotepino Рік тому +27

      Sir, if you can play by ear, keep it alive.
      That is in my opinion a better skill than to be able to read notes and such.
      If you can play along with a song you hear on the radio without having to look at any notes, well, in my opinion that is real skill.
      Playing by notes on paper is in my opinion feeding a score of music to a music box.
      Like robots.
      You probably put more feeling into what you are playing by ear than those who play by notes will ever do or be able to do.

    I made a living playing music largely by ear all my life. I'm now 76 and mostly just do videos for youtube at this point. Tho I can read to some extent, just always could learn it much more quickly if I heard it first. Other than not getting into the time values (and you're right, the much harder half of reading) much, the rest of what you covered was really succinct and to the point. Bravo. Anyone not able to understand how to read pitch from this might want to look into another hobby lol! But again, excellent job on pitch and dynamics.

We learned theory, equipment, recording techniques, radio, live performance, software, mixers, digital and outboard gear, sampling, setting up equipment, the science of sound, acoustics, and other stuff, Unfortunately I had to drop out of the course but have had positive feedback for my playing.

    This is an excellent introduction to reading music and it brought back memories of studying music when I was a kid. I was told by my parents that I'd thank them later for pushing me to study music, even if I never used it in my career. They were quite right, of course. 😍
    Just one tiny little detail stood out as being not quite right, although I really hate to nitpick: the video said f means fortissimo and p means piano, when in fact, f means forte (loud) and ff means fortissimo (very loud), although p really does mean piano (soft) and pp means pianissimo (very soft).

    • @pineapplefriedrice9598

      Tim Rowe the treble clef is the more complicated sign that is on the top and the 2nd clef is the Bass clef which is on the bottom (look at the video time stamp 2:29). The treble clef represents the right half of the piano which you will be playing with your right hand and the bass clef is for the left side while playing the notes next to it with your left hand. The line sets on the treble and bass clef are different, but when looking at it closer by finding all of the notes the treble and clef notes end up connecting bc of the middle c.

    Thank you so much!!! This was easy and clear! I've learnt more in these 15 minutes than i have in my 1 hour music class!

    Thank you very much. I'm trying to start learning piano and reading music. This was very helpful and encouraging :)

    Excellent video. Very reassuring when you say "we´will deal with rhythm later" For the moment we should follow our hearts and deal with pitch. Thank you so much. You start us up in a confident manner.

    Your video is excellent. It addresses components that nobody else covers. Bravo! I am a percussionist and It really helped me to understand music and especially piano. Thank you.
