The Essentials On How To Read Music
Reading music is one of the most important steps on the way to learning an instrument. Without the means to read musical scripture, you're left without a means to learn, which is a difficult obstacle of overcome. Therefore it is in your best interests to learn standard notation, which is the primary method of written musical composition. It's very commonly recognized as the series of golf-club like symbols across several lines. Let's look at how to read music.
First of all, you should decide whether the standard method of writing it down is the route you wish to follow. For the guitar, there is a simplified method, which pays off in the short-term, but over the long-term, it doesn't provide the necessary precision or details you might wish for. Tablature reduces the number of necessary details and simply puts numbers onto the six lines, which represents frets on six strings.
However, in the long-run, tablature is very inaccurate and lacks the detail of standard notation. Furthermore, it fully lacks many of the benefits of notation that aren't typically transcribed onto tablature, such as the advanced techniques like triplets. In the end, it might be better not to be limited by tablature and simply expand into standard notation, if your aim is to take it more seriously than a hobby might be.
Standard notation is how most of it is written. You're provided with a template first that allows you to place notes wherever you please. Typically, this template consists of five lines with gaps in between. The lines and gaps represent notes, usually EFGABCDEF. This isn't easy to remember, but thankfully, there are patterns that emerge. The notes between the lines form up 'FACE', which is easy to remember. The notes on the lines create EGBDF, which can be used as a mnemonic for 'Every Green Bus Drives Fast'.
While these are all of the notes used in music, they only represent the current octave, which is the set pitch of the notes. Higher and lowers ones are represented differently, which is a more appropriate topic for increasing advanced musicians. Other details on the notation will include tempo and rhythm, which provide information on how the piece is the to be played. Additionally, notes may be laid out differently to inform the player of techniques such as triplets.
When learning how to read music, keep in mind that it might takes years before you can read every portion of it fluently. All that matters is that you're progressing at a rate you're happy with and that you know everything you need to know. Learning new musical pieces can help with this, as can writing your own.
