It was simply fun! Two weeks ago, I signed up for a 3-month basic piano course at Cristofori Music School and three days ago, I had my very first piano lesson! My teacher is a nice girl. She talks fast and teaches fast. I like that.

I was required to buy a course book before the first lesson and I was given a 20% discount off the chargeable price of the course book but that was after I paid for my registration fees, which was more than the 20% discount. *roll-eyes* Anyway I think I am going to get a piano soon.

Aww. No, that was a joke. I am only getting a keyboard. I hope my “music” will not derange my family.

I made my own notes:

 
The Treble Clef sign is used for Right Hand notes. It came from the letter G and curls around the Right-Hand G line.

  
The Bass Clef sign is used for Left Hand notes. It came from the letter F and curls around the Left-Hand F line.

Music is made up of short tones and long tones. The length of a tone is measured by counting.

Each of these is a Crotchet. It has one count and is also known as a Quarter Note.

 
Each of these is a Minim. It has two counts and is also known as a Half Note.

This is a Semibreve. It has four counts and is also known as a Whole Note. 

 
This is a Crotchet Rest. It has one count of rest and is also known as a Quarter Rest.

This is a Minim Rest. It has two counts of rest and is also known as a Half Rest.

This is a Semibreve Rest. It has four counts of rest and is also known as a Whole Rest

I love theories!
