  • (gentle piano music)

  • - Hey, everybody.

  • Tim here, and back to some more YouTube videos for you.

  • Today we are talking about note reading again.

  • I know we talked about it long, long ago

  • when I first started making YouTube videos.

  • One of the first couple of videos I made

  • was how to read music,

  • but this time we're going to talk a little bit,

  • a lot more, actually,

  • about ledger lines.

  • Let's just get started, see what we have,

  • and I'll show you exactly what I'm talking about.

  • Now, let me bring this up

  • really quick.

  • Make sure everything is centered and all right.

  • I will post a link to this.

  • If I forget, please let me know.

  • We've learned how to read music on the staff.

  • At least you should by now.

  • I recommend you watch this video

  • after you've seen maybe the first five to ten

  • piano lesson videos that I've made in the past,

  • the "Learn to Play Piano" series.

  • We've learned how to read music on the staff,

  • and we've had some practice with that.

  • Now what we need to do

  • is we need to figure out how to read the notes

  • that are not on the staff,

  • and we need these things called ledger lines.

  • As you can see here, this C

  • has its own ledger line.

  • Let me see how big I can make this.

  • Okay,

  • so we have our ledger lines.

  • What ledger lines are for is to keep track

  • of where the note is off the staff.

  • Kind of said that already,

  • but you can have more than one ledger line,

  • and basically what it is

  • is you're extending the staff either down or up

  • to account for notes that just don't fit on the staff.

  • We have E here, our bottom line,

  • so there's no ledger lines involved yet.

  • I just wanted to start at E in the treble clef

  • to show you something.

  • There's E, and then there's actually a space

  • right below that line.

  • That's a space, and that is right before E in the alphabet

  • also known as D.

  • So if this E is right here,

  • this E, sorry,

  • is right here on the piano,

  • this D must be right next to it

  • down that way.

  • So, the further down a note goes on the staff

  • the further down that way it's going to be.

  • Then you have middle C.

  • We kind of know that one already.

  • It's the one on the first ledger line

  • below the treble clef.

  • It's also on the first ledger line above the bass clef,

  • but we'll talk about that in just a minute.

  • We have E, D, C,

  • and then B

  • right below it.

  • So this is the B right below middle C.

  • It can go down a little bit further,

  • but G is probably one of the lowest notes you'll find

  • on the treble clef.

  • Now I've seen some Es and things like that,

  • but for today, we're only going to go down to G.

  • So our first ledger line, C.

  • Going down is B, sorry, the other way.

  • And then you go down to A

  • which is two ledger lines below the staff

  • on the treble clef.

  • You can memorize these

  • just like you did to memorize middle C,

  • it's the first ledger line below the staff.

  • This one is two, so this is the A before that.

  • Then if you go down one more note,

  • this is a space right before that line.

  • That's down here at the G,

  • and then here we go back up.

  • We have G, A,

  • B, C, D,

  • and then back up the E to the line.

  • Just know that ledger lines are used to extend the staff.

  • You can memorize where notes are

  • off of the staff if you want,

  • or you can count from notes you do know.

  • Say you had this first space here below the staff

  • and you didn't know what that was.

  • You could find the closest note you do know,

  • which would probably be this E or middle C,

  • and then you can see that it's right between those two.

  • You can figure it out that way,

  • or if you want to memorize it

  • you can memorize that.

  • Obviously E's the bottom line,

  • D's that space right below that line.

  • C has its own ledger line,

  • the first line below the staff of treble clef.

  • B is right below that

  • in the space right below that line.

  • Then each time we get to a line that's lower,

  • we need to add a ledger line,

  • so we have A there on the second ledger line.

  • Then you go down to G, so if you had F,

  • that would be three ledger lines down,

  • and then you can go back up.

  • I'm just kind of showing you how it goes down,

  • and it goes back up back to E where we first started.

  • Ledger lines above the teble clef,

  • let me make sure this is centered okay.

  • Here we have the top line.

  • We know that that is F already,

  • and that F is right here.

  • Because it's two Fs above middle C,

  • the first F above middle C

  • is that first space,

  • and then you have that top line.

  • That's right here.

  • Now we have the first space above the treble clef,

  • and that's the G.

  • You go up one more, that gives you A.

  • Another one.

  • The second space above the staff is B.

  • Then you have the second line above the staff, the C.

  • Then you have three spaces above is D,

  • and then three lines above is E.

  • You can memorize where each of these are.

  • You can say, "Okay, I know G's the first space."

  • A, B, C, D, E.

  • There's another thing you want to do

  • to make sure you're really solid on these,

  • and I'll show you that in a couple of minutes,

  • but I just want to show you now

  • the bass clef, how the bass clef, the bottom...

  • line there is G.

  • We know that.

  • That's two Gs below middle C

  • because the first G above middle C

  • is that top space.

  • We have G, and then the first space below the staff is F.

  • The first ledger line on the bass clef is E.

  • Careful, a lot of students will switch this E with middle C.

  • They'll think it's middle see, but careful.

  • That only it applies for the treble clef.

  • Then you go down to D,

  • the second space below the staff.

  • Two lines below the staff is C,

  • and then you can go down further to B,

  • and then D, E, F, G from there.

  • Just memorize where they are on the staff.

  • G is the bottom line, F is the first space below that.

  • E is the first ledger line.

  • Try to recognize them based on what space or line they're on

  • below the staff or above the staff.

  • Now we have ledger lines that can be above the bass clef.

  • We have A right here.

  • That A is right below middle C

  • because we know this note as middle C.

  • The note in between is B.

  • That's the first space past middle C.

  • The second space is D, second line is E.

  • Second space is F, and then you have G,

  • which is the 3rd line coming back down

  • as you can see right there.

  • I will post an image of this,

  • a link to it in the description of this video,

  • so take a look at that.

  • Now I'm going to show you,

  • other than trying to memorize these by looking at it.

  • That doesn't really mean a whole lot to you.

  • Let's practice what we've learned.

  • What you want to do is you want to go to,

  • let me make sure I have this right as well.

  • You can't quite see it on the screen here,

  • but you want to go to

  • musictheory.net/exercises/note,

  • or if you type in "note reading exercises," I think,

  • into Google, it'll come up as one of the first ones.

  • Yeah, it's big enough.

  • You want to first go to,

  • up to the top right corner there's a,

  • you can barely see it here.

  • There's like a little menu there.

  • You want to go down,

  • and you want to...

  • Oh! Click treble range.

  • Well, first you want to,

  • actually, I would do it clef separate first.

  • Let's just work on treble clef here.

  • That's where you set your clef, the treble range.

  • You want to only practice notes that are

  • maybe two lines

  • below the staff up to that bottom line.

  • That will just get you to practice those,

  • one, two, three, four, five,

  • there's five notes in there.

  • I should've known that was a 5th right away,

  • but there's five notes in there

  • between those lines.

  • Oh, okay. You can see it, okay.

  • I was worried you couldn't see it at first.

  • Anyway, you select Menu.

  • You go to Treble Range.

  • There's the main menu here, Treble Range.

  • You select that, and then you drag down

  • to the areas we were talking about.

  • Instead of doing the ones all in the middle of the staff

  • which you know already very well,

  • you just want to practice a few of them

  • either on the bottom of the treble clef,

  • or the top of the treble clef,

  • or bottom of the bass clef, or top of the bass clef,

  • you do it this way.

  • You set the range kind of small,

  • but at the bottom of the clef or at the top of the clef.

  • Let's just try this

  • and see how we do.

  • New question, so here's our bottom line.

  • This was within the range we set

  • because it was the bottom line down.

  • You know that that's E, right?

  • There we go,

  • and then the new question is it's the first ledger line

  • below the staff.

  • Well, you should recognize that one.

  • If you don't, go back to the sheet, take a look,

  • and say, "Oh yeah, okay that's middle C

  • "with the treble clef."

  • So you'd hit C,

  • and try to find out where it is on the piano too.

  • That will help you as well.

  • This one is the first space below the staff,

  • and if you know that the bottom line is E,

  • the note right before that is D,

  • so you click on D.

  • Then you have two lines below the treble clef.

  • We talked about this earlier.

  • You can memorize what that is,

  • or you can count down from E or middle C

  • and know that that's A.

  • Before going on too long, let me do one more.

  • That first one below the staff is C again.

  • We know that one.

  • Like I said, try to play them on the keyboard.

  • That will help you not only identify them on the staff,

  • but identify them and have a pretty good idea in your head

  • where they are on the keyboard.

  • You want to do maybe 20 questions of each of these,

  • or 20 examples and go through these

  • for each part of the clef.

  • Now that we've done the bottom of the treble clef,

  • what do we need to do?

  • Logically,

  • I would say move the range.

  • Leave this first note here,

  • and then you want to move the range

  • up to two lines above the treble clef.

  • What that will do is that will make you to practice

  • those five notes in there really well

  • instead of practicing all the notes in the middle

  • that you already know so well.

  • You always want to focus down

  • on what the hardest thing is,

  • or what you need the most work on.

  • Here, we have two lines above the treble clef.

  • You may not have that memorized yet

  • since this is the first lesson we've talked about it,

  • but you can memorize that that is C

  • two Cs above middle C to be precise.

  • That's two ledger lines above the staff.

  • We put C there.

  • Or you can count from the top line of the staff, F.

  • You go G, A, B, and then all the way up to C.

  • You can count from there.

  • That's not as efficient.

  • I would go with trying to memorize where these are located.

  • Right away, I know that's a G

  • just because I've been doing this a long time,

  • but you could say, "Okay, I need to figure this out."

  • You can do it by referring to the chart,

  • or you go up to the top line that you do know, F,

  • and this is one note above F.

  • How about that?

  • You just put G,

  • and then here we have two lines.

  • We've talked about this already.

  • This is C right there.

  • Just go through these and you, over time,

  • after studying them for maybe a few days.

  • I suggest maybe you spend,

  • I don't know many minutes it'll take,

  • but do 20 questions on the bottom of the clef,

  • 20 examples, I guess you could say

  • on the top of the clef.

  • After a while, maybe a week every day,

  • you will start to have a much better idea,

  • maybe even after only a day.

  • Some students pick this up really quick.

  • You'll have a much better idea

  • on where these notes are located

  • both on the keyboard and on the staff.

  • Now that we've done treble clef,

  • let's pretend we've done 40 examples.

  • We did 20 below the staff, 20 above the staff.

  • Now what do we need to do?

  • Well, you press Back here,

  • and then you go to Clefs,

  • and you select Bass Clef.

  • You can do treble clef and bass clef.

  • It will alternate between the two,

  • or you can just unselect treble clef

  • to work on the bass clef.

  • That's what I recommend in the beginning.

  • Then the bass range, you wanna practice the bottom first.

  • You went from two lines below the staff

  • up to the bottom line.

  • Then you go back,

  • and then it will start when you click in here.

  • Now we're in bass clef.

  • It's the first space below the staff.

  • You can memorize that that's F,

  • or you could count down from G.

  • Either method works pretty well.

  • I would memorize these though.

  • You have G, bottom line. You should know that.

  • Remember, Good Boys Deserve Fudge Always,

  • or Good Bunnies Deserve Fudge Always

  • if you've watched my videos.

  • That's G right here, two Gs below middle C.

  • We've talked about that note also in the lesson.

  • Here, we have two spaces below the staff.

  • That's D.

  • As you can tell as I go through these, watch.

  • That's G right away I know.

  • I have these memorized already.

  • That's C, so I don't have to think about it.

  • Because I've done this very same thing.

  • D.

  • There you go, and I wasn't just doing that to show off.

  • I'm just showing you that

  • that's how effective you want to get

  • at note reading above the staff and below the staff

  • using ledger lines.

  • Now that we did the bottom of the bass clef,

  • let's pretend we did 20 of those.

  • For time's sake, we won't do that today,

  • but now you want to move to the top of that bass clef

  • from that top line to two ledger lines above the staff.

  • You go back, you click back in here,

  • and it will do what you instructed it to.

  • So if you ever want to change what clef you're working on

  • or what part of the clef you're working on,

  • you click in this weird button here,

  • the middle button,

  • you'll see that there's another button on the side

  • you can't quite see,

  • and then you change what clef you want.

  • Careful if you select both of them,

  • it will randomize it.

  • Here we have the bass clef, that's D,

  • and then the next one's in treble clef.

  • After you've mastered them separately,

  • put them together, select both,

  • and go through it that way.

  • That's my practice suggestions,

  • but at first, only do the treble clef or the bass clef,

  • and only do a certain portion of the clef

  • within that ledger line range,

  • two lines below the staff or two lines above the staff.

  • Practice those on their own, and after a while,

  • and practice finding them on the keyboard as well,

  • and after a while you'll have a much better idea

  • on how this works.

  • That concludes the lesson for today.

  • Coming back to me, of course.

  • Yeah, go over these ledger lines.

  • I know somebody a while back asked me in the comments

  • if I can make this video,

  • and here it is all about the ledger lines.

  • Do as I said in the video.

  • You may need to watch the video a couple of times

  • which I recommend.

  • If you're looking for more,

  • you're looking for more practice,

  • you want to get better at reading notes,

  • you want to get better at playing songs,

  • you want to play harder songs,

  • you want to play scales and all this other stuff,

  • some of which has been covered in the YouTube series,

  • but I want to tell you about my website,

  • LessonsOnTheWeb.com.

  • If you haven't heard me talk about it already,

  • I'd be surprised.

  • There, you can sign up for my music academy.

  • Of course it's optional.

  • It does cost a little money, but take a look into that

  • as there is a lot of content there.

  • If you've been wondering where all my videos are

  • that's where they are.

  • I've been making them all along,

  • but putting most of them on this site.

  • I didn't want to make one on ledger lines

  • because I think that's just kind of general knowledge

  • that people should know,

  • but look forward to more YouTube videos.

  • There are more coming this year.

  • I have some things in mind that I will announce later on,

  • but here's today's lesson on ledger lines.

  • Thanks as always for listening,

  • and I'll see you for the next lesson.

  • Thank you.
