Please visit PianoFromScratch.com to view all of the lessons and download the sheet music. We take a little detour in this lesson to lay out some new note reading strategies with some fun, crazy new mnemonics – trust me, these are unique! This will help us read notes faster as we move into the next portions of the piece. We also review the mnemonic for triple and duple rhythms in preparation for what’s coming up in measures 13 and 14. I show a neat technique in MusicReader that allows me to add text as “stamps” that can be easily adjusted in size, position, and color on the music. No notes played yet, but hopefully this will lay the groundwork for making the next lessons a bit easier.
