This is just superb, been searching for "how to teach children to read music notes" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Foonlant Dumbstruck Formula - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for discovering how to teach your child to read music notes minus the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my co-worker got amazing success with it.

This is a great starter for anyone that doesn’t read music and is done in a very easy to understand way too .... I learned how to read music a very traditional way when I started playing the clarinet over 40 years ago and I found it really rough at the start ..... I just wish I had this type of advice and lesson to help me back then ..... it was Thurston’s Clarinet method that was my starter and intermediate tutor and I still have it today .... covered in pencil marks of course !!!

PS, keep up the excellent work on the channel as I do love learning about the greatest Sax players and their solos and parts like the monster Pink Floyd you attacked recently which is one of my fave Floyd tunes and stoked that you did the full transcription!!!

One thing I self discovered is that when it comes to counting out the notes with "! e and a," ect... there is a time difference in how long it takes to say "e" and "and." How ever long it takes to say wither phrase is exactly know long you should play the note. I used to take private lessons from Mindi Abair before she became famous and there was something about how she taught that made everything make sense when she re-taught me the "1 e and a's" from my high school days.

I'm a wedding DJ, I'm luck enough to be able to listen to stuff and play the tune after a little on the piano (one handed only though) It meant I could have fun jamming to my fave tunes. I am increasingly booking a DJ and sax package, and the players I work with are from £250 ph I'm picking up a saxophone on Wednesday and I'm just so eager to learn to read sheet music as I've never found someone to explain it in a way that I just get. I'm pinning the whole beginner session on so when I get home Wednesday evening I can get up and running right away!
