Pianoist how can i read music? NO TEACHERS PLEASE?

Question

hi how can i learn to read music without a teacher

Answer 1

HI Jake (again!) You can get any number of starter books from a music store, they'll show you the basics. But it's not going to be easy. If you really want to play, then you've got to put the work in somewhere and a good teacher will help you. But if you just can't, then find a book that suits you and work your way through it. Good luck.

BTW - it's pianist.

Answer 2

It's mostly a matter of figuring out which notes go with which keys, and then figuring out how long you're supposed to hold each note.  I'm sure there are plenty of charts online.  This website looks like a good place to start.  http://www.get-piano-lessons.com/piano-n...

Answer 3

well... music theory (reading notes) can be very intricate and complicated if you don't have someone to teach you.  Definite check out some site online, but your best bet is to attend a music theory class at a small music school or performing arts high school.  I know you don't want a teacher, but you'll need a friend or someone to teach you b.c there are a lot more things on a music sheet than notes on a page.  So, good luck on becoming a great pianist =)
