How do you ';read'; the rhyme in piano sheets?

Hey guys! So here's the thing, I can read and play the notes but i've ALWAYS had problems on getting the right rhyme....:( I know it's in the sheet (like 4/3 and stuff), but could someone please explain how you do it? Thanx so much anyways! :]How do you ';read'; the rhyme in piano sheets?
You learn to read rhythm like you learn to read notes, by learning rhythm.


I think you must be self-taught. If you were working with a teacher, learning notes, the time values of the different note-lengths (whole notes, half notes, quarters, eighths, sixteenths and the same value rests would be being taught along with the learning of notes, not separately.





If you have missed this initial learning, there are beginner books filled with progressive exercises in reading rhythms. It is not unusual to count out loud while clapping your hands to the rhythm. This isolates rhythm and counting and allows you to concentrate solely on that.

Do you understand time signatures? If not, ask your teacher, if you don't have one, get one. If you don't have a teacher and can't get a good one, find a book on theory. Time signatures and rhythym are basic piano playing principles. If you've been taking lessons from a teacher for any reasonable length of time, and haven't learned this, then you probably need to find a better teacher. This will be one of the first things any competent teacher will teach you.





The time signature will tell you how many beats there are in a bar, and what kind of notes are used for the beat. 4/4 is the most common time signature, it is also called common time. The top number tells you how many beats there are in the bar, in this example there are 4. The lower number tells you what kind of note the beat uses. 2 means a half note (minim for British musicians), 4 means a quarter note (crotchet), 8 means an eighth note (quaver), 16 means a sixteenth note (semiquaver). You're unlikely to get any other numbers on the bottom at this stage (and rarely at any other stage). If you don't know what note has what value (how long you hold it), get a teacher and/or a good theory book.
Yer I agree metronomes are good if you dont have one use a clock!


Um, or you could tap your foot or cound 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and etc.


Or listening to the song on youtube lots of times will help because you will have the tune of the song in your head. I do this sometimes to help with the tricky rhythm bits too it does help.
you mean....rhythm?





Buy a metronome. It works wonders
