Introduction to Reading Music

So, you've seen music notation. You've watched in awe as friends and family members played music based on this scribble-scrabble. Now, being the learning enthusiast you are, you want to read music too. That's great! By reading the first page of Resonance Connection's Reading Music Tutorial, you've already taken the first step towards your projected dedication towards music-reading.

Purpose of Tutorial

The purpose of this tutorial is to help you understand the basic principles of musical notation so that upon completion, you can effectively read music.

What You'll Learn

By continuing throughout this entire tutorial, you'll learn all about the bars, the notes, the measures, the rhythm, and everything inbetween, of standard music notation.

What else should you know?

However, this tutorial is not designed to extensively explain musical theory (you don't need a profound understanding of music theory to read music). It merely helps you learn enough about musical theory to read music, not to explain the underlying concepts of music.
