Learning the play the guitar was always a dream for me and I’ve found the place to make that dream come true Jamorama .

I grew up listening to my father play an acoustic guitar, he learned by ear and played the blues, some rock, a lot of country and some gospel. I’m not sure that he knew how to teach me because everything he learned was by hearing and playing. 

My husband used to strum the guitar and played the song Telstar but as soon as I said I wanted to learn, he stopped, so he wasn’t my teacher. 

I was looking for someone to teach me how to play chords, give me tips, and tutor me.{  I heard about Fender guitars and Gibson electric and acoustic guitars, and they all sounded great, but I didn’t need a name guitar just something simple}.

Listening to Eric Clapton (wow) and the Eagles, Duane Eddy etc etc and the list goes on and on was great. Just like Jerry Lee Lewis, he’s one of a kind at what he does (can he ever play the piano), but I would never be able to do that.

Do you feel that way?  Have you given up trying to learn something you’ve always wanted to do?  Don’t do that.

If the guitar is something you want to learn to play, well do it!!!

Sight-reading music is a common practice among piano players.  This is when you play a piece of music for the first time, even though it may be unfamiliar to you.  Though it is not common to play a song perfectly the first time through, here are 8 tips to make sight-reading music easier for you.

Tip # 1. Key Signature.  Pay close attention to the key signature of the piece you are about to play.  Try to remember the appropriate sharps and flats in that key signature so you will know to play those whenever they occur throughout the song. 

Tip # 2. Time Signature.  This is also important to look at before you start sight-reading the piece.  You will need to know what kind of note gets one beat. One question to always ask is “how many beats in a measure”.

Tip # 3. Key or Time Signatures Changes.  Check through your music for any changes to the key signature or time signature.  Not knowing about a transition will obviously affect the quality of your play. 

Tip # 4. Starting and Ending Notes.  It helps if you are familiar with the starting and ending note or chord of a song before you start playing.  These are good reference points to guide you during your sight-reading.

Tip # 5. Note the Rhythm.  Refer to tip # 6 as well. It is easy to play simple melody notes. What makes for a much more interesting sound is the addition of chords, or the rhythm.  As you look through the song, you usually can get an idea of how it will go.  This will ease you through when trying to play the correct rhythm during sight-reading.

Tip # 6.  Play the Melody First.  Also look through the right hand melody line. Play this through first.  This will help give you an idea of the sound of the song and then you can put it all together and you will be able to identify the unique melodic line.

Tip # 7.  Check for Other Markings.  You should know all about loudness/softness, speed, and other technical aspects of music. Check the printed sheets for these markings and make a mental note of them. 

Tip # 8. Relax and Focus. Finally, before you play it is important to take a deep breath and relax yourself.  Focus on what you are about to play.  Try to play the song all the way through for your first sight-reading.  This gives you a general idea of what the song will sound like.  Later you can break it down and work on each measure or group of measures as you see fit. Remember. We are playing music for the love of it, not as a chore.  

Maybe you are asking yourself why you should learn to sight-read music.  Why not just learn the song a little bit at a time?  Sight-reading forces you to move forward at a faster pace until you finish the song, ultimately helping you learn to play music faster.  This helps you get rid of the bad habits that lead to starts and stops when first playing a new piece of music.  Sight-reading is an important skill to learn if you wish to become a good piano player.
