Summary: Sheet music is a hand-written or printed version of musical notation, a language that informs musicians what sorts of notes they are playing and how a musical work is arranged. Sometimes called a score, sheet music denotes key signatures, measures, time signatures, emphasis and much more. Using bars and measures, the notation aims to provide a guide to performing music as well as a record of a piece that has been composed. When studied alone, sheet music can provide illumination on many aspects of a performance that might go unnoticed during a live act. Although many symphonies and orchestras use a strict adherence to sheet music, even improvisational jazz musicians use a basic skeleton of sheet music to share common chords, structure and key signatures with their band mates.

In this free educational video clip series, our music expert will discuss everything a beginner needs to know about reading music on a page. Learn the basic structure of classically notated music and scores, learn about bars, measures, clefs, keys, time signatures, repeats, tempos, crescendos and much more as he demonstrates how to read the music, what the symbols represent, and how they affect the player's recital of the music. This is an excellent guide for beginners learning a new instrument or starting their first year in band or orchestra.
