I too have tried and failed in the past to read music - I would love to know the secret to cracking it. I suppose it's like most things, practice, practice and more practice until you can get your head round it. I know that I can do this - if I can learn to drive, use the internet and everything else why can't I learn to read music?! If anyone has any good tips it would be fab to hear them.

Well, you know where C is on the piano, right? It's any white key to the left of any group of 2 black keys. Middle C is the middle-most C on the piano. On the treble clef, middle C is on the first ledger line under the staff, while with the bass clef, it's the first ledger line above the staff. And, you know, after c comes e, then f, etc. Just keep on practicing... it will take a lot. Eventually, if you're dedicated, you will get it.

Some who have trouble learning to read music see it differently when they turn the staff clockwise 1/4 rotation so that the lines are verticle. It is easy to see the relationship between the written notes on the grand staff and their corresponding notes on the piano keyboard. There is a book designed for folks who have had trouble grasping the language called "Bold Beginnings" by Eloise Ristad which uses this method. Also there are several decent sites out there: try this one to start . . . http://datadragon.com/education/reading/
GOOOOOOROOOOOO
