I can’t sightread!

If you were learning a new language (like Spanish, French, etc.) it would take you a few months to be able to speak it. The thing is that reading music is ALSO a language. So don’t expect to understand it over night. Truth is that you get out of it what you put into it.

    Do you have a video about how to find proper hand position when playingthe piano from sheet music. For example how do you know to play the music in an f major or c major or like if theres a flat or sharp?

    I dont have any piano hand position tutorials. Mainly guitar.

    For order of sharps and flats and understanding key signatures this should help:

    This should also help with some of your piano questions. Also don’t forget there is a search form at the upper right of the website.
