How to Learn to Read Music with Color Notes from Happy Note!’s Videos

 

This is the Help page for Happy Note!’s videos on YouTube (32 videos with color notes in Treble Clef, both A B C and DO RE MI notation)

Why Color Notes to learn to read music ?

Each video adds a new music note and plays two musical readings : a and b.

The a musical reading always displays the new music note in color – here a C/DO, the black note is a G/SOL – to help you to recognize it :

2 LINES - Sheet Music 2a in Treble Clef with C G notes, C is in color
Sheet Music 2a in Treble Clef with C and G notes, C is in color

The musical reading use the same notes that the ones from the previous a musical reading but the new note C/DO is now in black (so you must read it and recognize it without the help of color) :

2 LINES - Sheet Music 2b in Treble Clef with C G notes, C is in black
Sheet Music 2b in Treble Clef with C/DO and G/SOL notes, C/DO is now displayed in black

Let see what happen with 3 music notes.

The musical reading below plays the 2 notes C/DO and G/SOL learned in the previous video and adds the new colored note E/MI :

How to read the musical readings ?

To learn to read notes, you must say or sing the name of each musical note AT THE SAME TIME as you hear it.

As Happy Note!’s musical readings are displaying the name of every note when they play them, you can check if you are reading them correctly.
