How to read music - Tim Hansen

"In the western music tradition..."
No. That's only in english. There is more west than your own belly button.

Thank you for explaining this 😊 It is frustratingly hard to find a clear explanation of reading music for someone who doesn't understand it at all x

Music is truly the universal language. You can speak Chinese, English or Italian and it will be hard to communicate in other person's language but certainly any of them can play the music in the partiture if they know how to read it.

I am 62. I am 100% musically "declined." have NEVER understood sheet music. I have tried SO many times.I just can't remember what a note is.I'd have to "count" each time for each note. I have NO idea how people can interpret SO much in a 'bar' and play it so fluently. I have bene editing video doing lighting for nearly 4 decades. Over that time I have developed this incredible rhythm (no pun intended, I don't think,) for precision timing for musical cues for said editing and lighting. I don't know how I do it. I can keep a perfect rhythm while doing lighting and editing. How is this possible? I am also a good "air drummer", but have NO idea what do when a friend offered to let me sit at his drum set. I couldn't function. Is that strange?

I could never figure out why the top line is E and not A which would make more sense, or why the piano seems to be an instrument where C is the basis of everything, but I play guitar, don’t read music, so tab makes more sense to me.

Love this SO MUCH. A great introduction to music. Though, whenever studying any language……
So much more to know!!!!!

LEAVE YOUR TIPSS DEARR GREATT MUSICIANS please!! 😭

How am I more confused now?

What is the piece at the end? I recognize it but cannot place it.

I've tried to read music my whole life. I play by ear. I guess I'm musically dyslexic. 😢 When I look at music notes, they all look the same.

Very well done, appreciate this video!

I love writing music, but reading it? I would really need an advanced teaching to understand how to read it I'm afraid...

this was not useful

Is music written the same in China 🇨🇳

i perfectly read music im just doomscrolling here lol

Fact, that I was fluent at reading music sheets as kid and now I can't even try to do so seems so insane for me.

ITS A MEASURE!!!!!!!!!

It's hard to read music and time signatures when you have played by ear your whole life

I think I'll stick with Marty Schwartz...

This is missing the actual way to read music.

i’m joining for alto sax in high school after never touching an instrument in brass and no clue how to read music💔

For over 45 years I'm totaly dyslectic. And can't read any sheetmusic. I have an ferry good musical hearing. And never needed any sheetmusic. Even when I played in choirs and bands.

Started getting curious about piano as a child, but quickly dropped it. Recently, I realized that I don't have to simply admire people who play instruments, I can learn to play them, too. So, I'm starting my journey today. Most helpful video for ultra-beginners thus far. ❤

Anyone who is frustrated with their life should start watching music tutorials. You suddenly feel the boring life is better again

Ms krengold it's Mohamed remember me

This is at the very basic beginner level. It doesn't scratch the surface of even the middle beginner level, not to mention intermediate and advanced which are nearly impossible for most non-musicians to even comprehend, much less able to even clap out the complex rhythms. This explanation seems great, until you turn the page and !#$@*""!!! (See you in 10,000 hours ... )

I could not read music before watching this TED talk and now… I still cannot read it

This was my first video after which I started learning guitar...

I always dreamt of doing music. lately god called me into it. hope this time i won't give up

1:52 this is the first time this is making sense🙌🏾 this minute right here 1:52
I've watched so many videos and they don't explain it like this. THANK YOU

A quarter note is one beat, not a quarter beat and a whole note isn't a whole beat. Yeah... I have done work to do

I understood the video. But I will need to watch it a few more times to really get it.

This was a perfect refresher so what’s next

Amazing content as always!

I didn't think I was going to learn anything in 5 & a half minutes and I was right!

Bro why are the comments so intimidating 😭😭😭

3:30 until you play palestrina.

Very well done, appreciate this video!

I studied music from elementary school, from about the age of 8 until I was 18. For a long time, I studied music and became proficient at reading musical notes. ❤

Well, just like the algebra, I still didn't get it. 🥺😞😓

I tried to find a song were notes are named and sung in there actual pitch... unfortunately couldn't find abc variant... just do-re-mi... why?? In my childhood there was a cartoon were notes were singing themselves, each had a character...it was a soviet cartoon with do,re ,mi...
I struggle find smth like that for my students in abc systems...it's a pity...

Time for me to hit the bar!! 😉

wait a second they put bethoven and bieber in the same sentence im thrown off

ALL THAT MUSIC LESSONS I PAYED
JUST GET GET BEAT BY THIS VIDEO
