Category: Piano Sheet Music with Letters & Notes Together
‘Read Piano Music Now’ features exclusive sheet music geared towards learning, and potentially re-learning, the fundamental knowledge and abilities required for “how to read piano music,” in terms of all the general “way it all works.” Most pieces here include letters and notes together, in standard sheet music format for piano. PDF sheet music.
My website offers traditional, formal piano sheet music, with letter note names included for every note.
If you want to play real piano music but feel completely demotivated by the thought of taking years of traditional lessons just to read basic songs, you are looking at sheet music the wrong way. Most traditional music pedagogy forces you to start with baby songs, memorizing acronyms line by line.
But what if you could bypass the academic gatekeeping and read real music today?
This is Kent Smith of ‘Read Piano Music Now’ and ‘Piano With Kent’ (R).
Today, I’m pleased to present a tutorial video that I hope will be a musically entertaining review/introduction to the basic “landscape” (or layout) of your piano keyboard, which includes a systematic approach to learning how to name and remember all the white keys on your piano, by using the black keys as landmarks (as they were designed to be, when it comes to navigating the keys).
In a subsequent lesson, we’ll look at how all the Black Keys are named, which is a pretty straightforward thing, as they are named in relation to their neighboring white keys.
Enjoy!

In a nutshell, this sheet music is the complete First Movement of Ludwig v. Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 14 (famously known as ‘Moonlight’ Sonata, taken from a poetic description of this, the First Movement, by a music critic of Beethoven’s time).
Every note on this professionally engraved and annotated sheet music is accurately labeled with its musical letter-name, such as C, G, F#, Bb.
This video can be useful as a reference when making sure you have your bearings in the sheet music.
When you scroll through it, you can tell what page and measure is being highlighted and played at any spot, by looking in the little preview square (as you move the play head around). YOU CAN ALSO SLOW THIS VIDEO DOWN, using YouTube’s playback settings for the video – just click on the gear icon in the lower right of the player window.
There is also a Keyboard Video graphic, just below the sheet music view, that highlights and sounds every note being played from the highlighted sheet music, in sync with the sheet music audio, in real time.

The future of this blog section is rich! I am very excited about it! The focus is entirely about how to read sheet music for piano, and also for other instruments.
– How to understand the notes on both staves, as they related to your piano keyboard.
– The meanings of all those symbols on sheet music: Dynamics, phrasing lines, tied notes, pedal markings, tempo and “mood” instructions, repeat signs and descriptions, and much more!
– Key signatures.
– Accidentals (sharps, flats and “naturals”), as written inside any given measure, which temporarily override the key signature.
– Chord symbols.
– Basically, everything that has to do with reading sheet music, especially for piano, but also for any instrument!
