Tips

To read sheet music is not the hard part, it is to play all the notes in the right tempo that is hard. You may look at a paper with music notes all over the place and wonder how you possible could play that. The number one “secret” is to learn to play without looking at the keyboard. To achieve this, you must allow yourself to play at the wrong keys until you learn it. One way to start learning is to position your hand with, for example, your right thumb at the C note. So which finger should get into the action if the next note is an F? The ring finger, is the right answer.

Music sheets laying over keyboard

To help you achieve this process, the collection of piano notes on this site is presented in three versions. Start with the ones with notes letters if you are a beginner. When you getting more comfortable about which notes are corresponding to each note letter, you are ready for the “easy versions” – easy should not be understood as these are simple to play, they are “easy” (perhaps “not so awfully hard” would be a better description) in comparison with the original version.

The more you play, the better you get. Be patient and enjoy your journey.
