    My biggest challenge in music notation is knowing how to play following Directions, e.g., Da Capo, Dal Segno, Da Coda, etc. I didn't see where you covered these.

      very true! this video is a very note-centric basics of music notation (I also didn't address rhythm, but I'll do that soon).
      I could make a video on those symbols you mentioned in the future! Just to clarify these directions, Da Capo (D.C.) basically means "back to the top," Dal Segno (D.S.) means "back to the sign," which is usually an "s-like" symbol with a slash and two dots on either side that you find in the score, Da Coda means to go the the Coda (literally the tail-end of the piece--in Italian, "coda" is tail), which is notated as an oval with a cross over it. A lot of the time, they'll be combined with "Da Coda" or "al Fine" (to the moment with "Fine" written above it in the score which is effectively the ending), so D.C. al Fine means go back to the beginning and play until you see "Fine," then stop. Dal Segno al Fine would mean repeat back the the sign and then go to the Fine. DC al Coda would mean back to the top and play through the Coda (the tail).
      It is quite variable, but I hope that helped to understand these symbols! Let me know if you'd like me to go over this in a future video
