Music notation captures 12 unique pitches that span the entire audible range.

• These seven "letter" notes appear on every instrument and anchor the musical alphabet.
• Between certain natural notes sit five sharps or flats: A♯/B♭, C♯/D♭, D♯/E♭, F♯/G♭, and G♯/A♭.
• 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.

Start with the white keys, then learn where the black keys slot in — that's your complete toolkit.

A one-hour music reading lesson in Perth usually runs around £15/h.

What you pay depends on aspects such as:

• The student's level — beginners, intermediate learners, or advanced musicians preparing for exams
• The tutor's qualifications and experience, including conservatoire training or teaching certifications
• How often you meet and for how long each time
• Whether you choose face-to-face tuition, video calls, or a hybrid approach

Some teachers provide block-booking discounts that lower the per-lesson cost.

A number of tutors include a free trial lesson so you can assess their teaching style.

Begin by learning how the staff visually organises pitch from low to high.

• Most melodies, vocals and right-hand piano parts use the treble clef.
• The bass clef (𝄢) covers lower pitches and anchors the bottom staff in piano music.
• 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.

Consistent short sessions beat occasional long ones — aim for 10–15 minutes daily.
