do you think one will be able to learn and master reading a score in 6months if practicing 30-60mins a day? and can u really play a music without memorizing and just reading sheet? can i play chords in my left hand instead of notes in the base cleft?
You are the most enthusiastic, most irresistibly charming, and most cheerful music teacher on RUclips. And the way you break things down to make them so much simpler is astounding. Most teachers I've come into contact with give you tiny bits of information at a time and they seem to be trying to make it more confusing... and they never come back and put the little bits of information they've given you together so it's up to you to connect the dots. Thank you nice lady
I'm 68 yrs old and have been learning piano for the first time over the last two weeks only and just adore your style. Thank you! You make everything just fun and fanciful...
My wife and I have just bought a piano a and you lisa are going to teach me how to play it. Ps Iam62 ysars old and I had a stroke in October 2020.I adore Keith emmerson and now you. Thank you lady you are going to help put my brain back together.
Maam before 3 yrs my music teacher used to scold and shout at me because i was slow in piano so i stopped quickly.and i started to learn in you tube and i started to see your videos. now i learnt piano with your help . heartly thank you so much uncountable times .you are a beautiful in teaching ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
the most valuable advice I can give as someone who struggled to sight read for ages is to play! the more you read the easier it gets and the quicker you spot the patterns and ideas discussed in this video. you'll build up a bank of mental patterns that appear in each style and you'll learn to not only recognise them but to play them without thought. these tips are really useful but the best way to get the most out of them is to keep reading. good luck!
If only I had a music teacher like you when I was a kid. To say you are "wonderful" would certainly be an understatement ! Stay being our teacher FOREVER please !!
I'm 24 and finally learning how to play the piano after being in choir for 4 years in high school, and I must say I feel like I have learned more in this video about music notes than I ever did in choir class! Thank you so much!
Another little trick that might be helpful to some is recognizing the fact that even numbered intervals are always line-space or space-line. Odd numbered intervals are always line-line or space-space. Remembering this might help some people quickly differentiate, for example, a sixth versus a seventh. Keep up the great videos.
Do you have a video on the proper fingering when sight reading from the bottom bass clef to the top treble clef? Still confused on when to cross fingers or reposition hand 🤔💯
I can play violin so I’ve learned to read one note at a time . Because of you i am now going to teach myself piano . The bass clef will be a problem but this will help a lot . Maybe I will sound better than on Violin . I’m 74 and started learning music at 64 yrs . I automatically figured out to map out landmark notes . My favorite first not was B . “ B in the middle “
i am 10 and i have lots of fun watching your tutorials till now i was scared of getting sheet music for my favourite songs now i can search for it without wories its faded by alan walker
I'm an absolute beginner and last night I was doing the landmark interval trick on my own and thought to myself "I should just go learn the proper way of sight reading, it's easier to form good habits then break bad ones" so here I am watching this video for help and you're teach me the same trick, I love it! Thanks I love your videos
I play a keyboard... Yeah I played many songs using ABC notes but I found trouble finding them... Then I decided to check out how to read notations and boom... I can at least read them now... Very slowly but through this video I know I will be able to pro at notation reading... Thank you Pianote
OMG! Thank the heavens above people like you exist! I just love your videos! They are so helpful! I just purchased a piano and I learned so much from watching your videos! Thank you so much!
i purchased my first piano sheet music book of one of my favorite artists Norah Jones. i have started deciphering the notes section by section thanks to you! thank you so much for your videos. literally a dream coming true
Madam you are great, though I have advanced but I skipped little steps. And through your teachings I have retraced my steps. Thank you very much Madam.
This is how I read it too! Thank you for articulating so clearly! One more landmark note I added to my memory after watching this video: base F. This is going to be tremendously helpful!
Awesome! I've been playing guitar for quite a while through brute memorization and by ear. At 67 I started playing piano and wanted to learn how to read sheet music. Apart from eye opening impact from studying music theory, your approach to learning how to read sheet music was almost equally impactful. For me your approach made so much sense and made it so easy to read music I was flabbergasted why it was more difficult before! Now it is so much easier to go from sheet music to keyboard. Thank you!
Marvelous. I'm 77 and bought a Korg Pa600 2 years ago. Know chords etc., but am just getting into reading sheet music. I took John Thompson's through 1A lesson book in the 1950s, and love music, but no playing until I also took up bass electric guitar 3 years ago. What a find for retirees with a love for music and the time and desire to want to re-acquaint.
When I watch these videos it feels like im on vacation. The way you break it down, the enthusiasm and the overall positivity that you bring with you is just so damn calming and inspiring. I'll gladly leave a comment here because I know that it will tell the youtube algorithm that I need more of this :-) Thanks for good vibes and for the lovely teaching. Slowly but steadily improving here from cph Denmark :-)
Great video! It’s definitely “a skill” that you need to develop and reach automaticity. It’s not enough to simply “know” these things. I knew how to read music for two years, I knew about intervals, but I never tried to sightread. I always studied and analyzed the piece before attempting to play it. This year I entered a music school and I had to learn to sightread for our sightreading exams. It took me 5 months of frequent sightreading sessions to put these concepts into practice. But I’m so happy with the outcome. I can sight read simple pieces now! Like Grade 1 or something! But it’s a breakthrough for me, because I couldn’t do that before! I could see the notes, understand the intervals, but playing even a simple piece straight away was next to impossible!
Not sure why this channel has not 10M subscribers, there is no better content on the entire youtube for learning piano on a better or more positive way, the vibes in her videos and explanations are unmatchable. My best discovery of 2021 or last years easily. Thanks youtube and thanks Pianote for the grind and joy bringing to all us piano fans!
This channel has changed my outlook on my past. I have beat myself up for not joining music class due to bullying. I’ll spare you the details, but I had come to assume I would struggle for a long time to learn or understand these concepts. You, Pianote, have shown me so much and I feel like you’ve brought all these classes I missed to me. Its truly the best learning experience I could have asked for. Thank you very much for your time, effort, and knowledge!
You are having special gift God gave you .am 50 yes old never read or play piano before. BUT for 2wks amable to do something . May I continue with you lessons ..bye
Wow, you got me reading music! I learnt guitar through intervals, which is THE way to do it and have played for decades to session level but never learn keys. Lockdown is unlocking the piano. So very glad to find a system thats 'intervals for piano' as this just opened the door - immense thanks!
So, I've been working on getting better at reading sheet music for years. I have games on my phone, I use the acronyms, I practice, but it's been really challenging to get all those note names to stick to my brain and coordinate with my fingers, lol. Every time I've just gone up or down a note because I recognized the interval I'd chide myself and say "that's cheating read the music!" I feel like this video has given me permission to "read" in a different way. I'm excited to incorporate these tips into my practice. Thank you!!! Blessings
Thank you so much!! I used to be able to read the notes when I was a kid (I scored high in music classes) but now it's 30 years later and I forgot all that and guess what, at the end of the video I was able to read the notes all over again!!! Thank you thank you!
Haven't learned sheet music since I was n middle school. Needed a refresher and this helped so much. Transferring my knowledge from the other instruments I have learned. "By your powers combined, I can finally remember how to play." Lol
Very well explained! Beginners get more benefit when a teacher goes at an easy pace without rushing it all. Her charts in red are helpful too! Middle C must be determined from.a.startimg point as done here! Good!!
My video actually stopped and started buffering....but it paused when you were smiling. Such a happy satisfying smile. Just release a complete piano course on youtube...it would make the world a happy place to live in.
Thank you, although I‘ve been playing the piano for some years I‘m not as good in sight reading. This gave me some new impulses. What I always do for the bass clef notes is see them like in treble clef and move them down a third. This is obiously only for the note names and not the height, and I don‘t know if it‘s the best way.
Very good video, really helpful. Just a friendly tip for your voice audio, you need a limiter or compressor on your voice to control your voice going very soft to loud since you’re very animated (which is great) but jumps in volume a lot on headphones.
I just started reading notes today. I am truly a newbie, but I like my method better than the mnemonics that everyone else uses. I have two sets like every one else for space and then lines. LINES: [F]inal line [D]awning line (It is rising to sunrise) Middle [B] [G]oing up one line above the first line [E]ntering the treble clef SPACES: [E]nding space [[C]losest to top space [A]dvancing to top (It is going up one from the bottom space) [F]irst space on treble clef I guess my whole point is that it is better to know that the notes by looking at that immediately rather than going through a whole list. However, I totally agree that knowing relative positions is very valuable. So, I totally agree with Lisa.
Because I Always wanted to Play Piano, now with 36 I finally just bought a piano...and then found your channel a few days ago and its gold to me. Thank you for your motivating joyful Videos ..it Makes playling the Piano so easy for me.. don't know, why I waited so Long...its Like the piano and me are Made for each Other (and I secretly always knew!) and you connect us even more! Thx a Lot! ❤️
I'm in love with your teaching, it's so clear and you're so enthusiastic in teaching which I absolutely love... I had a lots of doubt in reading and playing... But after watching your videos I'm kinda clear about it... Thank you so much for making this videos... Not only for me but also you're helping many people who are having hard time in reading notes,have a wonderful day (sorry for my english) !!!
I love you! You're the best piano teacher ever! This is a huge hack to reading notes. I can't read notes but I've been playing by ear all my life. I've hit a wall for the longest and I feel like this has opened up my next chapter! Thank you. You deserve over 1million views!
This is so helpful! This is one of the areas where I struggle. Reading music feels like reading Arabic (and I don't know how to read Arabic). I am not learning the piano but I am trying to learn the harp and this is easy to translate for that. I can't wait to get back to it! This video will make is so much less painful for me. Thank you! :)
I love this soooo much! Thank you for giving of yourself to teach! You are an outstanding teacher. You are by far THE MOST effective and fun teacher I have found online. You don't move too fast. You build our confidence and make us believe we can do this. I cannot thank you enough. Seriously!!
I've just started piano and struggled to figure out where the low C was in the bass clef although I memorize the position of high C. But your video gives me an inspiration. It you assume the middle C as a mirror, the low C is the reflection of high C in the treble clef.
Wow, learning to read sheet music for 6 months now with frustrations and this makes things so much easier when learning to play a piece late at night when I'm tired lol.
This was very helpful. No thirds, fourths, etc. actually make sense. And I REALLY appreciate you pointing out the flow from the bass clef through middle C to the treble clef. Thanks!
Thanks! I've been working on studying and recognising notes on a music sheet and naming it literally on the music sheet, e.g. C4, E4, A3.... etc, before I actually play the notes on the keyboard. Now I can mix what I'm doing with your "cheat codes" to make it even easier to sight read! However, I have also learnt that some left hand/right hand combinations may be written on the same bass clef as in Hanon's practice sheets! Took me a while to figure that out!
Lisa and Pianote, this is probably the best lesson I've received in basic music theory. I guess it helps that I love the channel anyway haha. Thanks to the two videos I've watched so far, I was able to sight read the example you gave us at the end.
Thank you for this brilliant video! My son is learning in school he’s 9 and competition is tight! I’ve loved piano most my life! But never learnt to read music! And I really helped me out!! Plus.. you are beautiful! X😍
That was a great lesson and refresher for me. I am a singer and remember most of this music theory from high school but am about 7 years removed. I look forward to watching you videos more!
I'm sure you are like one the coolest person to meet in real life. So sympathetic, enthusiastic but still in a modest way. Thank you for all these videos!
I’ve always thought reading sheet music was a whole long thing and I watch this beauty of a video and I’m like, that’s it??? Thank you so much!! All I need to do now is memorize The letters A to G backwards now
oh wow!! I'm stepping into "mature" age and never played piano, so I just got myself a great birthday present. I had some music education in school as I sang in chorus but that was so long ago. I could figure out simple melody with right hand but was hopelessly lost with base. This video lifted mystery and fear. Thank you so much!!!
You are so enthusiastic and u r the best piano teacher on RUclips I’ve ever seen you are always so cheerful and happy and nice you play the piano really good I’m ten and because of u now I’m able to play most of the BTS and BLACKPINK SONGS Thank u so much ( ur hair is so cool)
Thank you. This was really useful. I had already started to use a couple of the techniques before I saw this BUT I thought, "No that cheating - it can't be the right way". You have really helped me and my confidence.
I just started learning the piano and if I have any success, you get the credit, you present the information clearly and your enthusiasm is infectious, Thanks!
I also use landmark notes when sight reading. I write letters to the notes in the music It's easier for me to play and sight read in music. It takes a little longer to do this but it works for me. But once I get a song down my ear takes over.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Nobody did it as simple and enthusiastic as you did. I thought i would never be patient enough to get it and then this channel appeard. THANK YOU!!!
Awesome lesson as usual. Loved the intervals part. So happy to be a Pianote lifetime member. Best choice I made to have you as my teacher. Thank you Lisa and team.

Ma’am-you are a fantastic teacher! 👏🏼 Thank you!
I just started reading notes today. I am truly a newbie, but I like my method better than the mnemonics that everyone else uses. I have two sets like every one else for space and then lines.
LINES:
[F]inal line
[D]awning line (It is rising to sunrise)
Middle [B]
[G]oing up one line above the first line
[E]ntering the treble clef
SPACES:
[E]nding space
[[C]losest to top space
[A]dvancing to top (It is going up one from the bottom space)
[F]irst space on treble clef
I guess my whole point is that it is better to know that the notes by looking at that immediately rather than going through a whole list. However, I totally agree that knowing relative positions is very valuable. So, I totally agree with Lisa.

But your video gives me an inspiration. It you assume the middle C as a mirror, the low C is the reflection of high C in the treble clef.
I was stuck figuring out the notes with the acronyms until this eye opening video,,,, thanks a lot!!
Wow, learning to read sheet music for 6 months now with frustrations and this makes things so much easier when learning to play a piece late at night when I'm tired lol.
Thank you, teacher!
This was very helpful. No thirds, fourths, etc. actually make sense. And I REALLY appreciate you pointing out the flow from the bass clef through middle C to the treble clef. Thanks!
Thanks! I've been working on studying and recognising notes on a music sheet and naming it literally on the music sheet, e.g. C4, E4, A3.... etc, before I actually play the notes on the keyboard. Now I can mix what I'm doing with your "cheat codes" to make it even easier to sight read! However, I have also learnt that some left hand/right hand combinations may be written on the same bass clef as in Hanon's practice sheets! Took me a while to figure that out!
Very glad to hear!
i was also taught FACE; Every Good Boy Does Fine, etc... but this is just an easy way to do the sight reading. Thanks for sharing your learning.
Thank you so much. God bless you and your family.
Lisa and Pianote, this is probably the best lesson I've received in basic music theory. I guess it helps that I love the channel anyway haha. Thanks to the two videos I've watched so far, I was able to sight read the example you gave us at the end.
This was incredibly helpful. Reading notes makes so much more sense now. Thank you!
I cannot believe I haven't noticed the bass C being the middle C before! Crazy! Thank you so much for this vid!
Thank you for this brilliant video! My son is learning in school he’s 9 and competition is tight! I’ve loved piano most my life! But never learnt to read music! And I really helped me out!! Plus.. you are beautiful! X😍
After 72 years the entire sight reading thing now makes sense! This is the most effective music lesson ever! Thank you
As a beginner, I totally agree on using intervals from landmark notes. I’ve been doing this in my sight reading practice.
That was a great lesson and refresher for me. I am a singer and remember most of this music theory from high school but am about 7 years removed. I look forward to watching you videos more!
I'm sure you are like one the coolest person to meet in real life. So sympathetic, enthusiastic but still in a modest way.
Thank you for all these videos!
This makes so much sense. Thankyou!
I love your style of teaching!! You’re lively and creative, just the type of teacher to inspire a beginner. Very great job on this one👏👏
The best sign reading lesson for beginner so far
Sight reading
Your such a good teacher
This is very helpful! My mind tends to go blank but I know to just practice!!
I'm so happy to have found you, I begin looking, to learn to to play piano and read note. You are the best of the best! 🥰 Thanks 🤗
this lady is so cheerful and bubbly even myself as gloomy and nihilist self taugh could relearn everything thru, really an UPBEAT teacher
Great Teacher. No doubt. Bless You.
I’ve always thought reading sheet music was a whole long thing and I watch this beauty of a video and I’m like, that’s it??? Thank you so much!! All I need to do now is memorize The letters A to G backwards now
Thank you so much ! Merry Christmas!
Your smile its my motivation....🌹🌹🌹
oh wow!! I'm stepping into "mature" age and never played piano, so I just got myself a great birthday present. I had some music education in school as I sang in chorus but that was so long ago. I could figure out simple melody with right hand but was hopelessly lost with base. This video lifted mystery and fear. Thank you so much!!!
You are so enthusiastic and u r the best piano teacher on RUclips I’ve ever seen you are always so cheerful and happy and nice you play the piano really good I’m ten and because of u now I’m able to play most of the BTS and BLACKPINK SONGS
Thank u so much
( ur hair is so cool)
The positive vibes in your videos make this much easier to under stand. Love the idea of landmark notes
Thank you. This was really useful. I had already started to use a couple of the techniques before I saw this BUT I thought, "No that cheating - it can't be the right way". You have really helped me and my confidence.
Hi, Lisa. I speak Spanish but I like your videos. Thank you so much. Excellent lesson. Greetings since Cuba👍👍👍❤🎹
Very interesting to learn more with you Liza. God Bless you always 🙏
I just started learning the piano and if I have any success, you get the credit, you present the information clearly and your enthusiasm is infectious, Thanks!
You got it! We will accept half of your Grammy Award!
It's nice to review your past lessons. It's much clearer now.
The way you describe notes with intervals is *very* enlightening and helpful. Thanks so much for a great video!
I also use landmark notes when sight reading. I write letters to the notes in the music
It's easier for me to play and sight read in music.
It takes a little longer to do this but it works for me.
But once I get a song down my ear takes over.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Nobody did it as simple and enthusiastic as you did. I thought i would never be patient enough to get it and then this channel appeard. THANK YOU!!!
Awesome lesson as usual. Loved the intervals part. So happy to be a Pianote lifetime member. Best choice I made to have you as my teacher. Thank you Lisa and team.
🙏🙏🙏🙏 We are so happy to have you aboard
Something finally made sense and "clicked" in my head.
