If you are a singer or musician, being able to read musical notation is one of the basics to start with, therefore learning to read music notes is important before you can appreciate and understand other music concepts. Just as words are the basis of literature, and numbers of mathematics, so notes are to music.
It is helpful to pinpoint what kind of learning style you have, so that you can tailor your music studies to your personal style. The different kinds of learners in music are: first, the auditory learner. These are the pupils who learn by ear or, in other words, by simply hearing the music.
The second is the kinesthetic learner. One can be considered a kinesthetic learner if he learns and understands more readily through the utilization of shapes and patterns.
Last is the visual learner, who comprehends more by sight reading, or in reading musical notes on the page. That being said, it is important that all students learn to read musical notation, and although the visual learner has the advantage at sight reading, there are also tips and techniques for the other learners so that they, too, may understand reading music more quickly.
For Auditory learners, it is best to hear each note on the staff along with the instrument being played. Repeat for all the notes. Hit the key or pluck the string equivalent to the note to produce a clear tone, and if necessary, do it slowly and repeat until the note is clearly heard.
This will help the auditory learner remember what the piece of music sounds like, and after the first try, or a few more runs, it will soon be easier for him to play the piece even without seeing the musical notes.
For kinesthetic learners, it helps to remember that the up and down of the keyboard or whichever instrument is being played, corresponds to the way the staff is situated. Or, if the instrument is played left to right, that it is mentally rotated to the vertical orientation of the staff. Since kinesthetic learners learn concepts by associating them with familiar patterns, this is a useful tip to remember.
Whichever kind of learner you may be, you should be able to grasp the concepts and ideas of reading the musical notes from sheet music. From here you can add to your learning technique and personalize your music reading.
