How to Read Music (the basics) - Part 1: Notes and Clefs

Ever wondered how sheet music works? Here's an easy visual guide starting at the beginning with how the whole system works, how to read specific notes, and how to practise further yourself.
Perfect for adults or kids starting out on any instrument or just interested! No previous knowledge needed so I hope everyone can enjoy the fascinating language of music notation. It's easier than you think!
Leave any questions in the comments and follow for upcoming Music Unpacked videos taking it further with me, Chris.

I have been playing violin for years now, so I obviously know the basics of notes. Even then, I was still able to learn something in this video! You're really good at explaining things

[@music_unpacked]

That's great and good to hear thanks! I hope you keep learning as there's always more!

[@Martina-yu9bq]

Thank you very much, extremely helpful!! Would be great to see another video like this about rhythm, length of notes etc, you explain in a simple, easy way, thank you ❤❤❤

[@music_unpacked]

@Martina-yu9bq thanks so much! Yeah I'll try to make a rhythm one soon

My daughter is curious about why it's always Every good boy deserves food. What about the good girls 😅

[@music_unpacked]

Haha yeah good question! At least it doesn't say ONLY goos buys deserve food. Also girls and even bad boys and girls deserve food. Instead of "All Cows Eat Grass", one of my students says "Girls Buy Dressed From Asda" for the bass clef. Maybe you can make your own one starting with Girls...( B D F A)?

Your explanation using above water and under water is brilliant; thank you!

[@music_unpacked]

Thanks Stephanie! To be honest I think my analogy is good too and haven't seen anyone else describe it that way. I'll try to make more videos with different ways of visualise things to help

[@monasmith802]

Thank you for this. Trying to learn piano by ear, but I feel knowing music will help also. I can't seem to find that link. Am I overlooking it?

[@music_unpacked]

Thanks for saying and hope it goes well! I've added the link to the bottom of the video description now :)

[@thessdvlogs2290]
