Reading piano music sheets is not as daunting as many beginner pianists imagine. Understanding and mastering piano music notes comes down to a system of remembering the notes and practice. Piano music is written on a five line staff. In all forms of music notation, a clef features and this basically informs the player how the notes should be read.
A treble clef is commonly used as a notation of the first octaves on the right hand side of Middle C. The bass clef's job is that of indicating the octaves on the left of Middle C.
The five lines on the grand staff, from the bottom to the top, represent the notes E G B D and F. The four spaces between the lines are where the notes F A C and E sit. One of the first things that novice pianists need to do is memorise these notes and their position on the staff. Of course FACE is a very easy acronym to commit to memory. EGBDF, however is different matter. Although it looks complicated there are a few popular mnemonics the learner can make use of. Every Good Boy Deserves Favor is one that has been in use for many years but there are several other options. For example, Elephants Grow Big Dirty Feet is popular with some fledgling piano players. Some beginners like to invent their own ways to remember EGBDF, and music teachers find that young students who do so have no trouble remembering the notes.
