Learn Piano Music for Beginners (read more detail)?

Question

Ok, recently i have taken an interest in the piano/keyboard and so i bought a cheap one that does the job. When i look at sheet music it is just a bunch of symbols and means nothing to me so what i usually do is watch people playing piano on YouTube and copy it. I was just wondering if there are any websites or something that gives you just the notes e.g. ABCDEFGABC etc. to many popular songs. Thanks for reading.

Answer 1

I use a software that shows all the notes for any song in a virtual keyboard, using MIDIs.



MIDI it’s like a digital sheet. In fact MIDI it’s better because it’s easier to find songs in internet and you can also hear the notes simultaneously as you viewed.



Do this:

1- Search the WEB for the song you like to learn in http://www.midisite.co.uk/ or http://www.musicrobot.com/

2- Open the MIDI file in this software: “Sweet Sixteen MIDI Sequencer 3.3.2” that you can download free in http://www.download3000.com/download_32086.html or http://www.download32.com/sweet-sixteen-midi-sequencer-i3153.html

3- After that, go to the “Grid” section and you’ll see all the notes you need to play for that song displayed in a keyboard inside of the software. All you have to do its repeat the notes displayed.



I learn to play piano like this on my own. You should try it.



Note: Sweet Sixteen MIDI Sequencer is free in trial version but it works well. If you want you can also buy it.



I made a video showing how to learn to read music for piano without sheet using MIDI; watch it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LYSVjFU3Jw

Answer 3

You need to memorize the notes on paper by their names and memorize where they are on the keyboard to put them together. Buy some beginning piano books at a reputable music store.
