The biggest problem I have is when notes go way above or below the staff. It's difficult sometimes to read notes like these. This video is very helpful.

Just use A C E as a baseline. The three ledger lines above the treble clef are A C E with the second line being C. Below the staff on bass clef works the same with C being the second ledger line below and A being the third below that.

Very true

Otherwise known as intervalic reading and I totally agree. It is the essence of reading notes. And not just sequentially, but also seeing a thick vertical stack of notes and recognizing instantly what kind of chord or harmonic structure you’re being asked to play. Composers and conductors have to deal with the alto and tenor clefs as well as instruments that are written in a different key signature. Intervalic reading allows them to move fluently between the floating note values on the staff.

A good demo of using landmark notes as a reading strategy. 👍 Always excellent advice to practice consistently from day to day. This repetitive effort makes it easier for both our brain and our physical muscle memory to recall what’s learned. Makes it much easier to recall these landmarks and intervals (distances). What a wonderfully clear tutorial on landmarks and intervals (steps and skips) and practice tip for new and returning piano learners! Loooove your tip for flashcards AT the piano so learners get familiar with WHERE the notated symbol lives at the keyboard! Wonderful that you include a pdf practice download! Bravo!

This is a really important piece of advice. I have been learning the piano for the last year, and I think this is revelatory. Could you also make a deeper video explaining how to practice the interval stuff (after one remembers the landmark notes) I think that would just make it super clear on how to read music Anyway thanks a ton for this tip!

Ok. A slight correction. This video only covered 7 notes. Middle C was repeated. No worries. I'll play through and see how the technique works.

Can you recommend a song to practice that only uses g and c?

Just curious, but why those 8 notes specifically?

Next, talk about notes with 5 or 6 ledger lines. 😄 Btw, a friendly tip: You might want to reconsider the way you edit your videos. In the parts when you look into the camera, it's non-stop talking with no natural breaks.This is due, no doubt, to the numerous edits that have been patched together, creating a jumpiness and continuous "wall of sound." It's not how people naturally speak, and it creates ear fatigue, at least for me. I realize a lot of people cut videos in this way -- rather than doing better takes, they edit out their botched takes and paste together numerous cuts, but the end result is something that sounds frantic, and it's annoying. When your camera is on the keyboard, however, you sound much more relaxed, because it's one complete take.

I dont read music sheets ever until now. And i used to teach my daughter a trick, Since i play guitar all i know is to read chords, in order to teach her in just 5mins or less I told her to memorize the number 1-5-8, im not sure if that trick exist but that is my observation on piano keys. And now she can play a lot of song without music sheet

Like

Eight notes? You only play three. C, G, F. Did you mean to say eight piano keys?

I don't think this way works for the brain. Brain works faster if you memorize every location and let it do reflexes when you play. Your way is forcing the brain to think of the relational location of the notes. Which is an extra step. I am a newbie, I don't know if I am correct or not, but I don't want to be misleaded either.

No, read the lines and locations
