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

• Seven natural notes (A through G) create the white keys and serve as reference points.
• Between certain natural notes sit five sharps or flats: A♯/B♭, C♯/D♭, D♯/E♭, F♯/G♭, and G♯/A♭.
• A semitone is the smallest step in Western music — the distance from one key to the very next.

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

Quick tip: memorise C-D-E-F-G-A-B first, then add the five sharps/flats in between.

A one-hour music reading lesson in Uffculme usually runs around £25/h.

Prices differ based on a few key criteria:

• The student's level — beginners, intermediate learners, or advanced musicians preparing for exams
• Your teacher's background — university-trained musicians may charge more
• The duration and regularity of your lessons
• The format — online lessons, in-person at your home, or at the tutor's studio

Many tutors offer discounted packages if you book multiple lessons upfront.

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

• A treble clef tells you the second line from the bottom represents the note G.
• The bass clef (𝄢) covers lower pitches and anchors the bottom staff in piano music.
• A semibreve (whole note) lasts four beats, a minim (half note) lasts two, and a crotchet (quarter note) lasts one.
• Bass lines follow G-B-D-F-A and spaces spell A-C-E-G.

Practise reading a few notes at a time, then gradually add rhythm and dynamics.
