Self-teaching piano

[Dooder]

Is it impossible? I'm wondering if I can get some help, because for some reason i just can't get down reading sheet music. take this SAWG sheet for instance.

In the first two notes, are they to be played together? And is that G note to be played with the black key G#, with all three notes combining as a chord?

[bassman462]

when they are directly over each other then it's a chord

and when there is a sharp or flat sign right infront of them then that note is played sharp or flat. in key signatures, whenever there is a sharp or flat sign on that line, then all the notes on that line are sharp or flat, unless there is a natural sign infront of it.

i probably explained that really bad, wait till someone else comes if so.

Ok I get the chord thing, thanks for clearing that up. Just so I understand, would the C, G, and G# be played together as a chord? Also, does sheet music tell you which octave the particular piece is to be played in, or are you kinda supposed to hear it out?

just c and g#, and yes it does tell octave, since it's on the treble cleff that would be the c and g sharp right above middle c.

ok so using the same example, tell me if sawg written out note by note is correct.

C-G#, G-Bb, D#-G--->D#-F, C#-F, C#, D#, D#.

probably way off towards the end.

[bassman462]

im not that good with the treble cleff, so i used this to help myself out seeing if what you did was right.



C-G#
Bb-G
G-D#
F-D#
F-C#
C#
D#
D#

Can someone reupload this ? I'd been looking for the piano sheets for a while.

when you want to learn the piano its all in baby steps when you want to learn to read music or you can just learn a hard song but it probablly wont have technique. learning scales helps of each major and minor key you could probably get that on line somwhere
