Find a music reading teacher near me in Saltburn-by-the-sea

All Western music builds on 12 notes arranged in a pattern called the chromatic scale.

• 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♭.
• Moving up or down by one semitone means shifting to the nearest available pitch.

Understanding these 12 pitches unlocks every scale, chord and melody in Western music.

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

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.
• Rhythm comes from recognising these shapes and counting their durations.
• Bass lines follow G-B-D-F-A and spaces spell A-C-E-G.

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