I've been working at it for two weeks now. I put a chart next to my piano and the sheet music.
Good luck and G-d bless !!How long does it normally take to fully learn to read piano sheet music ?
Fully read? If you're talking about becoming a master at it, it might take you several years, depending upon how much you practice.
The more you practice the faster you're able to recognize the notes. Practice makes perfect!
I've ben playing piano since I was four and I'm fifteen now. I never really read the music till I was quite a bit older. I can read the music, but it still is hard for me to decipher the notes and play them all at once, so I'm not too positive.
it depends on the person. it is true that amount of practice, experience, skill, etc. is a factor, but sightreading is also a talent. it CAN be learned, but some people are better sightreaders than others. these people will learn the music more quickly.
another thing is, ';fully learn'; is broad and means different things to different people. some people may think that they have ';fully learned'; a piece when they can play all the notes and rhythms correctly. other people believe that to ';fully learn'; a piece, you must play notes and rhythms correctly as well as incorporate dynamics, musicality (emotion in the music), voicing, memorization, etc. etc. so basically, the answer to your question varies.
Depends if you know how to read music and if you know how to play piano. Longest, a year. Shortest (if it is extremely easy) minimum three days.
It will definitely take a lot longer than a week... even longer than a month. It really depends on how much determination you have. I would suggest buying some flash cards, and learning all the notes so well that you can see one and instantly identify it. Then try to read music... it takes practice.
Depends on how much you study it and at what age. My mother has been a music teacher for nearly 40 years. She taught two-year-olds up to the elderly, and it all depended on how much practice time they had and their motivation. I don't even remember learning how to read music. I just wanted to make the pretty sounds like mama and picked it up. Now believe me, it takes a while to get the coordination down, but reading the music isn't that hard. the great thing about piano is that it's directly transferable to violin. I'd recommend ';the music tree'; for younger musicians. I don't know about older ones. Long story short, if you practice 15-30 minutes pretty much everyday, you should get the basics in few months. I'm sorry I can't be more specific. Good luck and let me know if there's anything I can do to help you. I've been playing since I was about two years old. :)
There are actually two parts to your question. Reading sheet music is not difficult at all. The length of time it takes for you to be able to read the sheet music proficiently really depends on two things: 1) your level of comfort with the essentials of music theory, and 2) the complexity of the piece you are reading. For example, a Clementi sonatina may take two weeks of dedicated practice, while the Chopin E major nocturne took me many months to master.
There's also a skill called sight reading, which is tested in most music examinations. Essentially it means playing at first sight. For examinations, it involves taking a minute or two to look at the score, then playing it through. This depends on your proficiency in your instrument. For example, I have been consistently failing piano sight reading from Grade 5 through to Grade 8, but am able to get high marks for sight reading on the cello.
It depends on your skill level, how much you practice, etc. Really, this is not what it's about (how fast you can learn something) but instead, the interpretation of the music.
