Learn How To Read Sheet Music Through Easy And Fun Way

Reading sheet music isn’t complex, even when you’re starting to learn; if you learn what I will tell you next, it will be enough to read them.

In this pentagram, we have to add the critical Sol (G), which is in the second line; if we start counting from the last one, this means that the note Sol is the one that appears once we know the name of the note, we can know the name of the others notes that are placed upon or between the spaces.
