Video TranscriptionWelcome! I'm Robert Estrin here at livingpianos.com and virtualsheetmusic.com. Jay asks "How do you decipher all the symbols in music?" Boy there are a lot of them! This is a great question, Jay. You've got little squiggly lines, you've got dots, you've got just so many things. Well, I've got good news for you. There's a resource right on virtualsheetmusic.com that you can follow the link at the end of this video, and you'll find all different symbols and you can match them to your music and problem solved for you! Of course there's lots of nuances and there's no substitute for a great teacher. Another thing you can do is follow along with the score and recordings and you'll see how people address these various symbols. Thanks for the great question, Jay! Once again, I'm Robert Estrin here at livingpianos.com and virtualsheetmusic.com.

Please post where to find the information on music symbols. I (besides playing flute and knowing most of them) sing in an adult chorus where many inexperienced singers do not know what the symbols are. This could be an easy fix - we do not have time during rehearsal to study them. Thanx Ginny the Flute

Where can I find the "music symbols" reference you mentioned? I didn't see the special link you mentioned, and I tried searching vitutalsheetmusic.com without success.

Hello, I am french musician. Give us, please, a french version of yours videos ! It is possible ? Merci beaucoup !

Thank you for your comment Naudy, but I don't think will be possible in the short term to offer our videos in French language. The video transcription above should help with the understanding of the contents though. Please, let me know if you need any help. Thank you again!
