Music is the art of sounds produced by the vibrations of a sound body. The main elements of music are melody, which is the succession of sounds of different pitches animated by rhythm; rhythm, which studies the order and proportion of sounds in time; and harmony, which is the relationship and order of musical notes. To read scores we must progressively learn a little each day, reviewing what we have learned to train our memory and develop our habits.

How to study effectively:
Learning how to read sheet music will be easy and entertaining if we
work on it a little every day. We learn much more and faster if we work
for 5 minutes every day than for two hours once a week. The first
benefit that this brings is that in this way we create a habit. Habits, good
habits, are essential to learn anything we want. For example music,
languages, cooking, literature or whatever. To learn how to read sheet
music, it is also very important that we review and review what we have
been learning. In this way we train and improve our memory. Finally,
we will learn how to read sheet music with more interest if every day we
learn a new concept, something different, because that increases our
ability to understand things and develops our curiosity. We will have
more desire to learn new things, and this motivation is essential to
make continuous progress. Remember that this is a progressive
method, in which we learn little by little.
