  • Notes

    • In order to learn from written materials, we usually have to be able to read. And in order to read we need to begin with an alphabet.
       
      I first began playing my grandmother's piano when I was about four. I could play by listening to the songs she played on her record player. When I began school, I had piano lessons. But they didn't last long as I couldn't read music. I had actually decided that it was a waste of time as I could already play everything I wanted to. And I was lazy, a necessary evolutionary trait 😊
       
      Many, many years later, I taught myself to read music. If I could start my life over, I'd tell my younger self that in order to become the best that I could be, I would need to learn the language of music. Knowledge is power.
    • 12 Notes
       
      In order to tune your guitalele, you should already know at least six notes of the 12-note alphabet 😁
       
      Now it's time to learn a few more.
       
      Enjoy! 🥳
       
    • Notes Along The A String

      Since the first and sixth string is the A string, then that is the perfect place to begin 'reciting' our 12 note alphabet.

    • Notes Across the Strings

      Each string is a mini piano, capable of producing just over an octave. This means that guitalelists have a SUPERPOWER! We can play six pianos at once 🥳
