How to read music - Tim Hansen 

lol same

TaylorsOfficialMusic true for me xd

TaylorsOfficialMusic me😂

TaylorsOfficialMusic yes - I'm not sure why

I think you would be correct. x'D

Ariana Conner oh ok... Hey wait a minute!

LING LING!!!!

Yeeeesss ling ling

Ling ling :))

Ling ling. Uhmm wait, what's a ling ling? 🤔

Even if you're old, it's never too late

@@midigenzI agree!!

Comparing it to Chinese kids would make more sense. Chinese is harder and average Chinese kids take higher educational classes than Japanese. Making happiness more necessary for the Chinese

​@@dave4342 Or French.

Have science professors ever actually said that before or is it just a meme

Our physicsteacher studied physics math and music. He said that he chose music aswell because math and physics werent enough of a challenge for him. Then he proceeded to talk with the musicians in our class for like 15 minutes or so

and this video proved that rocket science is simpler XD

Me studying both "well actually'

lol

Nah man G# 🤣

I Can relate!

I need to have a fully functional website built by Monday morning and I’m here right now...

same but with my biology and chemistry exam tomorrow :)

Same but I have nothing to do :)

Wow, never thought I had a lot of people to relate to !!

That drove me CRAZY too!

Oh man, didn't even catch that!

I knoooow! I don't even read music that well (stopped playing piano many years ago) and yet I still caught it and it bothers me

Why is that? Starting at LA and not DO.

No kidding!

It's a lot like trying to read another language to me. I have to go word-by-word (or note-by-note) and translate that to what I play on the piano.

Ive played a bit of guitar, and there are some songs with "tab" versions. Basicaly 6 lines that represent each string, and numbers to show where on each string to play. When I look at sheet music, I think it looks like a different form of tab, even if its not the same thing. I know that up on sheet music means higher, and down is lower, and with simple stuff I can sortof guess what it might sound like but otherwise im a bit clueless

Sheet notes look like a reflection of my own incapabality to read and it feels like the notes are looking down on me for not understanding them (especially the high ones). I have a hate-love relationship with understanding music.

I just got casted into a musical and I’ve never seen any sheet music really.. and I’m kinda struggling and nervous that I’m not going to understand the beats and whenever he says a fancy music word :’)

Mandarin. It makes sense to someone, just not me right now.

Me too

Yeah

Exactly

True

I was curios to see if they will make a mistake.

Music theory is actually taught as an option here since elementary for a few years and then as an option in junior high and high school.

“Here” is Canada by the way.

@@AltPeachStudy that's great. I wish every country includes music as a necessary subject for school children. Optional if not mandatory. I recently started a program at a Montessori school where students can choose to be in any club they want. From Music, Medical, Taekwondo, art n craft, swimming, sewing, cooking etc. I teach students who opted for music. They are between 4 to 8 years of age and are little bundles of Joy. Best wishes to you from Nagaland.

@William Kircher that's true. But out here, we take lesser fee compared to actual music schools where individual classes are given. The parents can choose other clubs if they cannot afford another 15 to 20 dollars a month.

It is where I live. The result: we all messed around in class and forgot everything we learned by the time high school rolled around. You can’t force kids to learn something they don’t necessarily care about, because it just won’t stick.

I agree but for someone like myself who had forgotten how to read music and needed a "refresher" so to speak, this was a great vid. One can learn music in just one week if they dedicate 1 hour a day. I say this from experience as when I first learned I never picked up an instrument in my life yet my music teacher, Mr. Audi, taught me something as complicated as this in literally one week. It took me about a year to "truly" grasp sight reading and about two to "master" it, AND EVEN THEN I was not perfect or anything[but that's porbably me being hard on myself. I could never play a piece to "perfection" IMO even though I did earn awards...it's just one of those things. lol

i was like, why canon in d again 😂

Same

😂😂😂

ur not alone

@@user-op8fg3ny3j it's not ... it's really not ... It's so overplayed i get iritated instantly when i hear first few notes

😂 Yeah I noticed lol

Dont diss me but pop music do consist of like 5 notes for 3 minutes. So i could imagine why his face dropped reading Beethoven 😂

😄😄😄😄

@@arombell2259 me playing the same 4 note motive over again in Beethoven’s 5th and reading this 😅😂

@@moriahwenzel888 well just a generalization, there are always exceptions so don't mind :)

You can do it! It takes practice but it’s a beautiful skill to have :)

🤔😁😄😷👍

Mind effing blown!!!!

Yo wtf

It’s not.

Once you get it, you can read it as fast as a book !

Zack Lunas See, the thing is this is comparable to elementary school math When it comes to actual compositions like classical music or jazz you’re starting to get to highschool level, where you can read the music but probably have a hard time playing certain rhythms by yourself an instant (eg polyrhytms). And then there’s genres like math rock or really complex jazz music in where you sometimes don’t even exactly know which note comes before which, also you have to follow rules cause there’s way more things than just the stuff in the video. There can be changing pace, having to play 2 melodies with one hand, while still playing another rhythm with your other hand (for piano at least). There’s key signatures (comparable to mathematical rules where you have to keep an order for something) and signs that will remove these. Then there’s intonation, dynamics, etc. this video is literally like teaching basic maths like addition, division, multiplication, subtraction and bracket rules

Math is harder :)

If you practice you’ll get it

It's easy actually, there are tricks on how to memorize which pitch is in which line hahaha😂 and also practice, everything gets easier when you practice!😊💜

Nerd

Lol, maybe because you thought It would give a different perspective on musical reading?

Omg, same

Cuuuuteeee

Ms Keisha, i know right as well lol

It’s funny but it’s not funny 😭

And cries at the 4:22 part 🤣🤣

very much yes

I've been in the same loop of coming back to these kinds of videos for years hoping it'll click. I feel like it's just trying to be confusing at this point. 😂

any tips or guides you can give to a beginner like me? One of my goals this year is to learn sheet music

Haha me too

Is mayonnaise an instrument? 🤣😂

This is the best comment lol

You deserve praise 😂

I don’t get it...

Yt Yt It’s what Patrick said on Spongebob

5:05 yeah that was funny.

Uh, u spelt it wrong

Dyed what color?

@@santanuchowdhury609 Didn't capitalize the I, used the wrong homophone of die/dye, and both failed to capitalize Bieber's name and spelled it wrong...

that's kinda cyber bullying

Same, i've played for 13 years and I think I'm here just to see if he is full of crap or not XD

River Song so what was your opinion?

I asked before I watched. A very basic overview

I was kinda hoping there would be a music joke somewhere in the video.... 6/10, not enough humor

.

I wonder if you got over the first bump .

A minor key sounds much darker than a major key. Simply, sad songs would be in minor key while a happy song is in major key. Harmony is the background of the music. It is the opposite of the melody, the main sequence of notes that you’d hear the most. Transposition is when you take a song in a certain key (ex. C major) and turn it into a different key (ex. F major). I don’t know what instrumentation is lmao

I thought too

Just turn the piece sheet to the right to landscape then the lines and spaces match up to the notes. Hope it helps!

You're not the only one disappointed

If you want easy results with little to no effort, you should find a hobby other than music...

What?

yep

I don't know poop about music theory. But I do play instruments. So this is all I know about it really. And some other stuff to do with chords.

Seemed pretty standard to me

reminds me to ERB

+1corn THEY'RE VILLAGERS!!!

Thats a very life like picture of bieber showing what he actually is - a prick with hair on top

Mr. Bieber and Dr. Trayaurus

+Joseph Kim YASS

You noticed too? The song being played was "Ode to Joy" and the music notes shown were not corresponding at all. Lol.

at least they got the last four notes matching the pitches of the audio

Same here!! Lol

I was searching for that comment, thought I couldn't be the only one noticing it haha

Yeah, I had to listen to it a few times to make sure I wasn't going mad. Like whut?

Same

*this

same here xD

+Karol Szymczyk same

sameeeeee ! -.-

Hahahahahahahaha i just thought the exact same thing

I dont know how to read music

@@thecleaningauthority193 shut up. you already know how to read music since you born.

Everybody gangster 'til evidently, you're not musically literate... 🤫🤥😷👌🇬🇧

@@coolasf1527 what?

I've never read music in my life

Ikr

BOTHERS ME SO MUCH

Absolutely! Especially if you expect a source to be credible!

RIGHT!

So true

Then get a new teacher

hey i know you

I totally agree with you 😆

hello fellow twosetter!! :)))

Hurts specially those who already read some, but without fluency, and thought they could improve their perspective by watching this video. I call this counter-educational.

Ikr

Do it wasn’t only me.......

TWOSETTERS UNITE

We thought “oh finally something useful”

People still search things up you know.

I'm just annoyed because I have seen this video at least 3 times in the last 3 years and all 3 times where from my band director

Well let me teach you about reading a C clef

I know right, those causes me a lot of treble and time

@@timmerbell5217 luckily we only use alto and tenor(and I play alto so that's half the battle) but I have to learn the other ones so theyguve me trouble

It's in fact artistic

It's even hard just to draw the quarter rest lol 😂

you don't get famous as a musician/singer without learning music.

this video lesson is not meant for singer that doesn't play piano. a 2-year-old uses his vocal cord to make sound.

he can play 4 instruments so im guessing he can read music alright

***** thats what we call presumptions, my friend

***** i guess we'll never know

+Aforgomon Viola clef right?

+Helen Yesberg Yeah. You can only play the alto clef of the viola... I think.

+Aforgomon It's for the viola

the alto clef is for the viola, the mandola, and a few other variations of violas and trombones

+TDrama77 Productions actually it works for almost every instrument.

So that the guy could smile when he was Beethoven, but frown when he was Bieber.

beiber sings, but beethoven didn't sing. they know music.

Look again at your sentence to figure out.

jack amiegbe beiberhoven

Bieber* rather Briber or Beaver or Briber or bewilder...... thanks

in 5 minutes?

help im trying to pass level 10 RCM piano exam REEEEEEEE

@@vivianniu3493 good luck pal, YOU GOT THIS!

Honestly same. I got dissapointed very quickly... 😅

Me too hahahahhaha

93 years?

Ikr😂😂😂😂

Piano, 12 years

Piano 6 years

Seeing your profile pic i dont think youre that much age

Nekky Singz SAAAME... except this is six-seven years old stuff for me

15 years ago...

the only way to learn sight reading is to practice sight reading. It's because being able to sight read has to do with connecting a note with a muscular movement, and not a pitch. You have to teach your body that.

- Random person with a cat as their channel icon - i know right!

laughs in rubato

Haaaaa Haaaa Haaa Haa Ha Haa Haaa Haaaa Haaaaa

Laugh in fermata

@@fortuntaniegra3879 diminuendo doesn't affect the length of a note.

Fortun Taniegra diminuendo affects volume (it tells u to gradually get quieter)

Red Strawberries you’ll get there if you try

Dont worry it's really easy just takes time to get used to remeber

You. Can. DO IT! It's not that hard if you practice!

You can!

Same!

Yeah, exactly.

Yes that bugged me haha.

+higurashikai09 "Ti"?

Ferran Dimple yeah, it's in C major, so in Solfege it's Do, Ti, La, Sol as in a descending scale. So, because it's a C major scale, C is Do, B is Ti, A is La, G is Sol and so on.

It's not about the chords haha it's just that I had never heard Ti instead of Si

Seriously though

Yeah

INTERESTING!

I cringed so hard at that part haha

it shows a descending contour but plays Beethoven's 9th symphony

another mistake at the minute 4:42 is that the sharps are in the wrong position, they would be alright if there was a tremble cleff, but there's the bass one and the sharps should be on the 4th line and 2nd space I don't know if I wrote this right but English isn't my first language so... Ok that's it I'm gonna go practice

&Dudldhoo24, yes they put an accidental in a wrong position. It should be in the 4th line which is "F" to make it an "F#" since the key signature tells us that it is in Dmajor scale.

Came here to say this

THIS BOTHERED ME

PAIN. I feel like creator definitely trolled us all.

_laughs and then cries in ledger lines_

*When there are more ledger lines than actual barlines*

yeah I know how that feels, 😞 that hurt 😅

When your band director makes you play piccolo 🥲

Perhaps you should have said a new clef or an 8va? lol

Wow, directors should be on top of that, it makes starting new music much easier. In 7th grade my choir director taught us this and accidentals pretty well in a couple weeks only going over it once or twice a week.

Same here its a joke how easy it is when explained correctly. At saying that im certainly more interested now than i was then. Maybe its more to do with paying attention :)

what the fuck is wrong with your teacher, they should get fired

those who play an instrument dont need to watch this

Hashirama Senju well some people play completely by ear

SAME !

That's why you're watching, because maybe you will.

***** yeah. Maybe.

Justin Bieber has yet to sing beethoven classical music.

lol

I know! I loved how the little guy looked disappointed 😂

me too ...

I love how the animation frowns after he says that

really says a lot about the education system

にゃあエイリアンMeowAlien engrish pls

at least u have musical education in your country from young age, i wish i had this opportunity as a child

ナビイ Wait you’re in Japan and there’s no music teachers for you? Half my music books are from Japan!

@@AltPeachStudy I'm not in Japan, I'm an asian-brazilian (:

Yoodj C.B Ayy dude, long story. Read about Gallic-Roman Gregorian Chants

do you sing or play an instrument e.g. violin

Redheadedmusician talking to me? idk why but if u reply to someone's comment i get the notification too damn.

Simone Spadoni sry, im replying to Yoodj. your name would come before my reply if i was replying to you. :)

Redheadedmusician oh thank you

* 9th It's also in D not C like in the video.

Matthew Hume Oh... f**k, that's what I meant to write but I tipped the wrong one.

1412mariLU Song at 4:22 sounds like ode to joy

You're correct. Beethoven's 9th Symphony is Ode to Joy.

That really annoyed me in the video

+Landon Balk #juvenoia

+Jacob Scholte nah

Beethoven wasn't so great! Have you ever seen Beethoven on a bubblegum card?

+Philip Hoy I love the irony... which I really hope, am not misinterpreting into this...

+xXnaDilXx yeah, it's a quote from A Charlie Brown Christmas haha

YES

sunburst behindtheclouds the notes they put at 4 20 are Wrong what u see irl is what u get if it goes up so does the note

I can't read em, but I know there's something wrong

sunburst behindtheclouds omg yes this bothered me soooo much

Yess, it bothers me quite a bit! It was probably just a careless animation error, though, or maybe the animator can't read music. =)

may I ask what is the title of the song?

Pachelbel Canon in d

@@imabagel7382 thanks for the reply. btw, do you happen to know a song something similar to this but was played on electric guitar? All I can remember is there is a word "rock" on the title of the song and its the same sound on @4:45

Unfortunately no 😐

JC Medina is it Memories by Maroon 5? It has a similar sound

lol. Yes, I did enjoy the video but I noticed that as well.

was it the Ode To Joy part?

@@ejmtv3 Yes :D

I was so consufed too like what happened

The sheet music they showed was the bassline of Canon in D, but they put the sharps where they would be for the treble clef (not the bass clef)

Or Keys, or tempo, or speed, or loudness, or stops, or repeats.

@@diakounknown1225 or pretty much everything, really.

and something called crescendo

and i thought i would cry only when i did calculus

Just add some stravinsky there

THIS BOTHERED ME SO MUCH

@@Abrahambinzz me too.

For real. Match your notes, dude.

I guess history has changed in 9 years

Like this

I'm learning to play the keyboard by myself with nothing but youtube videos and apps (I know nothing about music) Any tips?

Yup hahah

@@gabrielam.7681 watch out on your technique to prevent injuries. Play exercises at least 10mins a day (hanon, czerny, etc). sight read for 30min a day, then work on your perferred piece/project for 20 min. This amounts to 1hr each day. You should at least practice this much. If you got more time just scale the session as needed. If you're really new and had no experience before, try finishing one of those all in one piano books (usually for kids). They contain beginner explanations, how to read, etc. After that then go to my recommended schedule
