Learning how to read music as a beginner simply means learning what the symbols on the page are telling your hands to do. This includes knowing the names of the piano keys, the notes on the musical staff, time signatures, note values, and different musical symbols.
The piano is sooo big that you need two staves to fit all the notes! The two staves used in piano music are called the treble staff (used for high notes) and the bass staff (used for low notes). They each have their own symbols.

Most frequently, piano sheet music will include two staves, one above the other; the treble clef will be on top and the bass clef will be on the bottom. Remember, your left hand will usually play the notes on the bass staff and your right hand will usually play the notes on the treble staff. When the staves are shown together, we call it the Grand Staff.
For the record, I am not a true believer in "underground" hip hop.If anything (see Black Eyed Peas), I'm a bit of a skeptic. Butnowhere near as much a skeptic as hip hoppers of every sect andaffiliation. Boy does good stuff surface once you start looking. ACEYALONE: Accepted Eclectic(Ground Control)Popsymp enough toconsider this an improvement over the far from awful The Book ofHuman Language (featuring "The Balance," "The Hurt," "The Vision,"etc.), I'm also streetsymp enough to hear how smug some might findthe sensible moralizing and carousel hooks of "Master Your High"--andpeople person enough to think "Five Feet," named for thedistance he wants to keep between him and you, is priggish. Still,most of these 16 tracks are sensible, moral, and hooky. And manyare fun as well. Ten years a cult hero and his passion for rhyme isunabated. It would be priggish to deny him. B PLUSATMOSPHERE: Lucy Ford(Rhymesayers Entertainment)Although in othermanifestations crew chief Slug can get ill, this one-disc double-EPcollects the thoughts of an alt-rap everyman. Brooding through thelong days on caffeine, nicotine, gasoline, and Ant's looped,retarded samples, the voice evokes Will Smith sans Bel Air--theDepressed Prince of South Minneapolis, clueless in his latestscrape. But Slug understands women better than most male losers,and maintains a winner's enthusiasm for his own talent.Inspirational Verse: "Some got pencils and some got guns/Some knowhow to stand and some of 'em run/We don't all get along but we singthe same songs/Party for the fight to write." A MINUSAFRIKA BAMBAATAA: Looking for the Perfect Beat 1980-1985(Tommy Boy)What's the name of this nation? Zulu, Zulu. I've never lovedelectro like Bam the Prophet and miss J. Lydon's "WorldDestruction," but here at the irreducible least are two of thegreatest records of the '80s. The 1982 Arthur Baker space jam"Looking for the Perfect Beat" you know: synth figures and drumrumbles and startling scratches echoing a hooky title cadencethat's varied and layered around everyday rapping--rapping thatfinds all the earth it needs in the patch of grass outside the recroom. Cosmic Force's "Zulu Nation Throwdown" you've maybe readabout: floating over its clattering trap set and nothing-but-a-discorhyme-trading on Lisa Lee's spunky minute of fame, it definesthe inspired innocence of first-generation old-school and allows meto retire the 1980 Paul Winley 12-inch that's been my most-playedvinyl since I went digital. Cosmic Force disappeared posthaste,replaced by the likable Soul Sonic Force, who pass the mic ontracks that range from competent to classic and invite James Brownand Melle Mel to the party. But I'll never forget "These are thedevastating words that you never heard before/I'm Lisa Lee, huh/Igot rhymes galore/So young ladies out there and from the heavensabove . . . " And now here comes Chubby Chubb. Lisa Lee is goneforever, and so are her girlish ways. A MINUSHAIKU D'ETAT(Pure Hip Hop, Inc.)Hooray for who-he? drummer AdrianBurley, mastermind of a Freestyle Fellowship-Project Blowed spinoffthat slips horn and keyb cameos into a flow that's steady yetsupple, catchy yet varied, live yet studio--a musicality thatnaturally extends to the rhymeslingers, who offset each other aswell as the beats. Aceyalone's smart-ass singsong is more fun lip-by-jowlwith Abstract Rude's rough edges; Mikah 9's alcoholic free-associationsets up the star's righteous "Man I want money I needfood/I want clothes I need housing/I want cars I need good health/Iwant knowledge of self I got knowledge of self." And it goes on.Worth reading along to, too. A MINUSLE TIGRE: From the Desk of Mr. Lady(Mr. Lady)After a 34-minuteart project that ended up a great album, a 17-minute EP ends up anart project. "Get Off the Internet" was overdue and "They want usto make a symphony out of the sound of women swallowing their owntongues" does us the honor of taking its title literally. But don'tbe so sure either will hold up like "Gone b4 yr home." Malechauvinist boyfriends are eternal. B PLUSKIRSTY MACCOLL: Tropical Brainstorm(Instinct)Ewan's pride wasalways a folkie in her bones, a singer whose acute arrangementswere dulled by prefunk grooves. That's why the sauciest songs onher Galorebest-of sound a little fusty, and also why this Latin-inspiredand -flavored return to the studio seemed like nothing toget worked up about. (Remember Rei Momo? By David Byrne? Right.)Making no claims for the clave of her same old Brit backing guys,she soars like she never has anyway. She always had attitude, butwhether she's stalking a fan gone "to a record store/To buy a CD bysome other girl not me" or walking all over some Limey masochist inher most impractical shoes, these songs are so loose and raunchythey live the carnival cliche of life-giving rhythm "Mambo de laLuna" stakes its video on. The saxophone-and-autoharp finale is areturn to foggy London town even though most of the album takesplace there, the non-Latin bonus tracks are letdowns, and MacColl'sdeath in the Caribbean last December hurts every time she ai-yi-yisabout what a slut she turned out to be. A MINUSMARIA MULDAUR: Richland Woman Blues(Stony Plain import)Too old towaste time bragging, too wise to want any more macho mess, Muldaurfinds title, lead, and persona for this Memphis Minnie tribute ina well-loved classic by gentle John Hurt. It beats her '60s coverif not the original, as does the pliant, weathered "Me and MyChauffeur." Sticking to underexposed blues songs and aided by alifetime's worth of friends--Amos Garrett taking Lead Belly to theDelta, Angela Strehli working a "cooperation plan," AlvinYoungblood Hart as Minnie's good old Kansas Joe--she turns in thebest record of her undiminished lifetime. When was the last timeanyone in Marin County wrote a line to match "Gon' bring you somemoney if I have to pawn my pants"? A MINUSCHIEF STEPHEN OSITA OSADEBE AND HIS NIGERIAN SOUNDMAKERS: Sound Time(IndigeDisc)Politer musically and craftier lyrically than therival Oriental Brothers, lacking his great hit "Osondi Owendi,"shorter on charm if not tune than his live '96 one-off, and youwon't care. These seven '70-'85 tracks, none under six minutes andone pushing 20, are as close as any American is liable to come tothe rambling shambling genius of a bespectacled little careeristwho has made Ibo highlife his fastness for 30 years. No non-Ibowill detect the worlds of homily, satire, and flattery here withoutconsulting a scorecard. We'll just hear the palm-wine sweetness,the edge-of-the-forest chatter, the flow everlasting. A MINUSTHE ROUGH GUIDE TO BHANGRA(World Music Network import)"No padding, no `fillers,'" boast the notes. But "not every greatbhangra band or artist is represented," apologizes the dedication.Which leaves the "You don't need to understand the words" part upin the air. Because we do need to understand the groove. And in theabsence of sure-shot hooks, understanding comes easier to non-Punjabispeakers in the U.K., the epicenter of the Indian diaspora,where this voracious dance style links Bollywood kitchen-sink to avillage thrust that long ago fused with the industrial pulse of theglobal metropolis. Never previously drawn to more than a straytrack or two, I count this meant-to-be-definitive collectionthusly: first three hits that pass all understanding, final threeso fierce they need only get started, middle seven pretty engagingfor a groove and language not one's own. A MINUSUNSUNG HEROES: Unleashed(75 Ark)When underground rappers talktrue to their school they mean they got no new beats, and unlikethe great punk bands, they're rarely delighted enough by the oldones. Making no claims on anyone else's truth or roots, thisU.K.-based transatlantic consortium achieves no-school simplicityfreshly and effectively--with slantwise piano figures, brief guitarriffs, solid bass lines, and well-aimed scratches and samples thatevoke DJ Premier and get a shout-out from Roy Ayers. The raps, adozen or so voices pursuing a single understated aesthetic, alsostick to the basics. Check the opener, in which thwarted legendRob-O explains/demonstrates why/how he's "Magnificent," andproceed. A MINUSDud of the MonthBLACK EYED PEAS: Bridging the Gap(Interscope)"Refusing to preach about politics, guns and bitches," as oneadmirer puts it ("Thankfully there's no inkling of misogyny orhomophobia--how refreshing!"), these well-meaners are the JurassicFive's answer to Arrested Development. Proficient, bland, anddauntingly dull, their only threat is a promise to "take it back tothe days of Mantronix" (no, please, anything but that). I can onlyguess why they clock corporate cash while accessible and manifestlycivilized West Coast alt-rap megatalents like Lyrics Born, Del, andAceyalone explore bootstrap entrepreneurship. Maybe they luckedinto connected management. Maybe they take good meeting. Or maybetheir very lack of content has the advantage of cosseting thecommercial preconceptions that count for so much more with sellersthan buyers.
