How to read music
This primer on how to read music is basic but still pretty awesome. I’ve always been a complete muggle when it comes to music theory. Years and years of lessons and one semester of Music Theory 101 in college — none of it stuck.









I found “How Music REALLY Works” to be my unashamedly cheesy yet effective guide to music theory. And I don’t think it uses any standard musical notation.
