Find some music sites geared towards kids that will help you learn how to read music. Examples include: FlashMusicGames.com, Learn4Good.com, ClassicsforKids.com and Piano-lessons-info.com.
Search through the sites and decide on your favorite ones. Bookmark them to keep them handy. Start with a basic site, such as FlashMusicGames.com. Play a few notes on the keyboard to get a feel for the sound of each note. You can even record your own music and replay it for your enjoyment.
Pay attention to the notes labeled on the keyboard. You should see letters: C, D, E, F, G, A and B on the keyboard. These notes are considered the Major notes. The letters on the black keys represent the Minor notes, and will have a slightly different sound than the Major notes. Notice the strange symbol written before the Minor notes.
Visit a different online site, a kid-friendly site that explains the difference between a treble clef and a bass clef. These two signs are found on any sheet of music.
Play some music games to help you practice your skills. ClassicsforKids.com and FlashMusicGames.com offer games where you can play the keyboard, guitar or drums. ClassicsforKids.com has an especially helpful game entitled, "Note Name Game." Kids click on the letter that corresponds to the musical note.
