ReadSheetMusic.info

Back in like, 1999, I wrote five chapters on how to read sheet music. I did it to draw attention to my web site, www.notationmachine.com, and my intention has always been to flesh it out and add more chapters.

The response to those originals sections have been overwhelming. For years people have written me, thanking me for this free course, and wondering why the rest of it wasn't finished yet. In fact, if you type "How to Read Sheet Music," my site is listed number one in Google. That's a pretty big deal.

But it's been eight years since I've even looked at this part of the site and I hadn't finished writing it! (In fact, I did write the rest back in 2000, and accidentally deleted it. Ever since then I have not been too interested in doing all of the work again... until lately).

A couple of years ago, when the .info extension came available for domain names, my registrar, namesecure.com, gave them away for free for one year. So I grabbed www.readsheetmusic.info back then, thinking I'd someday make a site dedicated to learning to read sheet music.

Two or three years later and I've finally written the missing chapters, and put them up on this new site. Check it out, and see if you learn anything new about how to read sheet music!
