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.
• The black keys on a piano represent these five in-between pitches with two possible names each.
• Moving up or down by one semitone means shifting to the nearest available pitch.

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

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 Wembley usually runs around £24/h.

Prices differ based on a few key criteria:

• Whether you need foundational basics or advanced sight-reading skills
• The instructor's credentials, ABRSM affiliations, or professional performance experience
• How often you meet and for how long each time
• 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.

Ask about a free first lesson to see if the tutor's approach suits your learning style.

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

• A treble clef tells you the second line from the bottom represents the note G.
• Lower instruments like cello, bass guitar and trombone read primarily in bass clef.
• Rhythm comes from recognising these shapes and counting their durations.
• Treble lines spell E-G-B-D-F ("Every Good Boy Deserves Fun") while spaces spell F-A-C-E.

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