2 Music Notes in Bass Clef (F clef)
2a – _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Do _ _ Fa _ _ _ _ _ _
The 2a music reading below is the first music reading (there is no 1a music reading). There are only 2 different music notes on the staff, the Do in color and the Fa in black (“2” means 2 different notes, “a” means the new music note to learn – here the Do – is in color).
Play the audio file and say or sing – sing is better – the name of each note – Do or Fa – while you hear it.
If you don’t know anything about the 5 lines of the staff (or stave) and the treble clef on the second line of the staff, the image below could help you:
You can also read about the 5 lines and 4 spaces of the staff and how the F (Bass Clef) fixes the name of the music notes (A B C or Do Re Mi). These links and others are available inside the Main Menu, Music Theory (except understanding the staff and the treble clef, you don’t need to learn music theory to read music notes).
2b – _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Do _ _ Fa _ _ _ _ _ _
The 2b music reading below use the same 2 notes Do and Fa that the previous 2a music reading but the Do is now in black (so you must read music notes without the help of color).
You can also play with Read Music Notes HN: it’s free and uses the same new notes, with and without color. You can choose between A B C and Do Re Mi, Treble Clef and Bass Clef and even use a keyboard to play.
3 Music Notes
3a – _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Do _ Mi Fa _ _ _ _ _ _
The 3a music reading below use the 2 black notes Do and Fa learnt in the previous 2b music reading and add the new color note Mi.
You must read the notes easily and without any hesitation before proceeding to the next reading.
3b – _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Do _ Mi Fa _ _ _ _ _ _
The 3b music reading use the same 3 notes Do, Mi and Fa that the previous 3a music reading but the Mi note is now in black so you must recognize it without the help of color.
Frequency is the most important thing to learn to read music quickly: to read 5 or 10 minutes every day or twice a day is the good way to learn, to read one hour one day and wait many days before to read again, the bad way.

The 4a music reading below use the 3 black notes Do, Mi, and Fa learnt in the previous 3b music reading and add the Sol color note.
