Every melody and chord you hear comes from just 12 different notes.

• These seven "letter" notes appear on every instrument and anchor the musical alphabet.
• The black keys on a piano represent these five in-between pitches with two possible names each.
• Sharps raise a note by one semitone, while flats lower it by the same amount.

This 12-note cycle repeats identically whether you move up toward higher pitches or down toward lower ones.

Once you know these 12 notes, you can navigate any piece of sheet music.

Music theory and reading lessons in Par average £30/h per session.

What you pay depends on aspects such as:

• Whether you need foundational basics or advanced sight-reading skills
• The tutor's qualifications and experience, including conservatoire training or teaching certifications
• How often you meet and for how long each time
• Delivery method: webcam sessions tend to cost slightly less than home visits

Opting for online tuition can reduce travel-related fees while maintaining quality.

Many offer a no-obligation introductory session to ensure a good fit.

The staff is your roadmap: notes placed higher sound higher, and notes placed lower sound lower.

• Most melodies, vocals and right-hand piano parts use the treble clef.
• Lower instruments like cello, bass guitar and trombone read primarily in bass clef.
• Note shapes tell you how long to hold each sound: a filled oval is shorter than an open one.
• Treble lines spell E-G-B-D-F ("Every Good Boy Deserves Fun") while spaces spell F-A-C-E.

Pair your reading practice with playing or singing to connect visual symbols with actual sound.
