Hi Joe: There is a great little program called 'Notecard' which is helpful for learning to recognize the notes of the treble clef. It's freeware and you can download it at: http://www.tutorials.com/09/0917/0917.asp Beyone that, there are probably some tutorials online to help you along. Hope this helps George Leverett http://altarwind.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Joe Mejia To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2008 11:40 AM Subject: [HG] Musically illiterate. Hello, I've had my hurdy gurdy for about 4 months now, and things have been moving along just swell. I've been able to learn a handful of songs by ear, and I'm ready to move on to some harder ones. Unfortunately, some of them just seem too hard to play by ear, and I've finally broken down and decided I need to learn how to read musical notation. So, how do I do that? I used to be able to read music back when I was a little kid and I played violin in the school orchestra, but I've since forgotten everything about it. Is reading music for one instrument any different than reading for another? Say I found sheet music for a guitar... could I use that for the HG as long as it was within my playable range? Maybe this is a stupid question, but if anyone can help me out ), I would be very appreciative. - Joe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Making the world a better place one message at a time.
