When asked where to start to Teach Yourself To Play Music, the usual reply is at the beginning. However when you want to teach yourself to play an instrument, you want to be able to play it straight away. I understand this because I was in the same position not too long ago; I have in the past bought keyboards and guitars and I wanted to be a successful musician straight of the bat. It was a total set back when I discovered that I knew nothing about the instrument or how to read music. So for myself I had to start at what I thought was a good beginning. |

But what is the beginning? For me it was how do I play my instrument as soon as possible, the best way I found was to take it slowly, not to push yourself and take in too much at one time, but to learn a little every day.
Before long I was playing small pieces of music and that gave me encouragement, which started to snowball. There is a saying which goes , "The More You Learn The More You Want To Learn " and I found that to be true with the addition of having fun too.

I hope to pass on some of my knowledge to you in an easy to understand format, that is to explain how to play and not fill you with charts and diagrams. It is my belief that if you understand a concept by reading about it, you will remember it.

I have great respect and admiration for accomplished musicians. They have come through a rigorous regime that possibly robbed them of time with school friends at a time when social activity is also important. However they will tell you that it was worth while; with music come new friends. Everybody loves music and if you are providing it you also will be loved.
No this is not a dating agency; my point is that music makers are very popular. You can be that music maker; yes it does take years of practice to become an accomplished musician, but there are fairly accomplished musician who can make good sounds. Why not become one, Teach Yourself to Play.

Lesson #1 Teach Yourself To Play Music.
Simple Music Lesson For Beginners-Easy Piano Lessons
Fundamentals from the first article
So where exactly do you start? Obviously you will need a piano, electronic keyboard, or some other keyboard set up. Next choose how you would like to progress, what type of lessons would you be able to cope with.
It is my view that online piano lessons are best, not only best for price but best for progressing at your own speed, best for help if you find it a struggle, and there are various payment options, with online piano courses, you may be able to download the whole course or opt for a deferred payment plan, where you download sections of the course.
Whichever you choose, make a plan of training that suits you not your tutor. This has to be fun remember; now let’s face the music so to speak. You probably already know how to find certain notes on a music score. If you go back and recall from your school music lessons, the word ”FACE” the letter names of the notes in between the lines on a music sheet.
Also the phrase "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour" the first letter of each word represents the name of the notes on the Léger lines on the music sheet. This being E, G, B, D, and F, reading from the bottom line upward, as with F, A, C, E, the space note names reading from the bottom upwards.
As a little exercise if you sit at your piano and locate the twinned black keys just left of centre on your keyboard, the white key to the right of these two is the note E, If you put your right hand thumb on the E key and hold it there, with your remaining fingers
press and hold every alternate white key until all fingers are on an alternate white key; you now have your fingers and thumb sitting on the treble leger lines. E.G.B.D.F. and the white keys in between your fingers are the spaces of the treble leger lines. F.A.C.E. This will result in you finding the notes E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F, all the basic notes on the treble clef.
In your schooldays music lessons did you also learn that the bass lines have little rhymes to aid memory also? These are for the bass lines, Grizzly Bears Don't Fear Anything, again the first letters of the word are the note names G, B, D, F, A. For the spaces between these lines, All Cows Eat Grass, the first letters again for A, C, E, and G.
You can do the same exercise with the base leger lines and spaces as you did with the treble clef, only this time use the left hand and place your thumb on the third white key left of the twin centre black keys that we located before.
This exercise is to enable you to locate these notes on your piano keyboard and relate them to your sheet music. You may notice that there are three white keys between the two exercises you have just completed.
These three notes are also between the bass lines and the treble lines, they are B, C, D, This C is very important as it is a reference point on the piano, it is Middle C, and you must remember this.
To summarise; you will now be able to find all the treble and bass notes and to locate middle C. These are your building blocks for all your future music lessons. Play the notes and call their name out loud, what I call play and say, this will help you to remember the notes on the keyboard and the sheet music.
When you think you can find them easily, play and say them out of sequence and your fingers will eventually find them automatically. Make a regular practice routine and stick to it, half an hour to an hour a day would be excellent.
Start today. Start NOW.
