Reading Sheet Music as a Beginner
As a beginner pianist, one of the challenges is reading sheet music. It is complex to learn and very difficult to read fast. Therefore many beginners spend just as much time figuring out what to play as they spend actually practicing a piece.
To help you enjoy the process of becoming a better pianist, I have compiled various sources below that can help you learn how to read sheet music. If you want one place where you can learn it all, I highly suggest you check out my online course Learn Sheet Music with Jacob.

Choosing the right piece
Learning to play the piano is challenging, but that’s what makes it interesting. However, it’s important not to tackle music that’s too difficult for your current skill level. If you choose something too challenging, you might get frustrated and lose motivation.
Here are some common difficulties beginners face:
Rhythm: Keeping the beat and playing in time can be tricky.
Playing fast: It can be hard to move your fingers quickly across the keys.
Handling too many notes at once: Sometimes a piece of music has too many notes happening simultaneously, which can be overwhelming.
To make progress, it’s important to understand your strengths and weaknesses. Based on that, you can pick a suitable piece to practice. For example, if you struggle with rhythms, a piece like “Autumn Breeze” may be better for you than a more rhythmically advanced piece like “Remember You.”
