Get Started!!!

I give piano lessons for kids aged between 7 and 12 years old. It would be interesting to get an idea about the basics of music. This post and the following will illustrate some of the main features of music annotations.
There are 2 types of clefs the treble and the bass clefs. These clefs are necessary to write notes and pieces. They are the backbone of each music piece. There are 7 basic notes: A, B, C, D, E, F, G and we go back to A. Every note has a different position on the treble and bass clefs. There are also flats and sharps (black notes found on the piano). The following video will teach you how to play the C major scale.
