Most people think that reading music is hard and difficult. In order to understand in a better way as to how to read music, it would be best to first ask us, What is music exactly?

To start with defining what music exactly is, music is

1)The art of producing significant arrangements of sounds, usually.

2)With reference to rhythm, pitch and tone color and

3) Usually succession or combination of notes, especially if pleasing to the ear.

Now before you decide that learning how to read music is not your cup of tea because your head is already reeling with the many high-sounding music terms that have already been used, wait and relax. There are simple enough explanations to each of these terms. Read on to find out.

Pitch is basically the frequency at which a note vibrates. Tone colour is the type of sound that is produced. A simple example is the sound produced by an overdriven electric guitar, which is a very rough aggressive tone. In contrast to this is the sound produced by the flute, which is usually a soft mellow tone. Rhythm is simply the duration of the time in which you play the notes.

In the most contemporary sheet of music you will find that music is written on either the treble or the clef staff. There are basically two kinds of clefs. And of course the clef that will appear on your music depends completely on the instrument you are playing.

There are also some notes that are called Accidentals. Accidentals are actually those notes which are not in the general key that most of the song is written in.
