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

• The natural notes are A, B, C, D, E, F and G — seven letters that form the white keys on a piano.
• 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.

After G♯/A♭, the pattern restarts at A, one octave higher or lower.

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

A one-hour music reading lesson in Station Town usually runs around £20/h.

This rate can vary depending on several factors:

• The student's level — beginners, intermediate learners, or advanced musicians preparing for exams
• The instructor's credentials, ABRSM affiliations, or professional performance experience
• Lesson length and frequency — weekly hour-long sessions versus shorter fortnightly meetings
• Delivery method: webcam sessions tend to cost slightly less than home visits

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

Reading music starts with understanding the staff — five horizontal lines that represent pitch.

• The treble clef (𝄞) marks higher-pitched notes and sits at the start of the top staff.
• The bass clef (𝄢) covers lower pitches and anchors the bottom staff in piano music.
• Rhythm comes from recognising these shapes and counting their durations.
• Lines and spaces each represent a specific pitch, which you can memorise with mnemonics.

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