How long should it take for me to read piano sheet music with lessons?

Ive got a electric keyboard for christmas and i want to take lessons just to learn how to read sheet music how long should it take? and how much roughly are lessons??How long should it take for me to read piano sheet music with lessons?
If you play another instrument, it's incredibly quick to learn the music. Although with a keyboard, it's slightly different to a regular piano (more keys on piano). When you get lessons, the teacher will teach you the notes. Price of lessons vary. With my school it was about 拢360 for the whole year, I don't know how much per lesson. But hunt around for the best deals, some teachers offer up to 拢20 per lesson, when a friend of mine gets them for 拢5! The music is written on a staff (probably spelt that wrong!) and has crotchets, minims, quavers, semi-breves, etc. mf means medium loud, p means quiet. Legato means played smoothly, Staccato means played quickly or sharply. Just remember that there are only 7 notes, repeated every octave 'C D E F G A B' (order correct when starting at middle C)How long should it take for me to read piano sheet music with lessons?
If you have the notes beside you, and write them in under the notes and play it it off that you shouldnt have a problem...BUT.. it sounds easy.. its not really.. You'd have to learn whee the notes all are on the keyboard.


Im playing classical piano since I was 7..im 15 now, and any ';pop'; song i hear on the radio, i can get on the internet and play. For the last 2 years I can sight read music straight off the sheet..all the hard work off learing the notes has paid off..i can play anything I want now. if you are really dedicated.. id say at least a year..it is expensive..鈧?5 for 20 mins once a week. all worth it though in the end. =]





good luck!!
it will take as long as you want it to take. pick up some level 1,2,3 books from your local guitar center. do not pass the easy stuff, fill out the first grade looking stuff, and you should be able to get a decent grasp on how to read sheet music. a lot of times, knowing the intervals on the sheet will help you play fluid enough. practice makes perfect.
a long ******* time
Dunno about the cost, but reading music is easy once you get the knack - it rather depends on the person but weekly lessons probably about a year to read it well
