Types of Printed Music
Written music (on sheet music) is the manner in which music has been communicated for ages, from one musician to another.
So, being able to read music and communicate music through written notes is an important part of learning music.
There is a lot of choices available when it comes to printed music. You can choose anything that belongs to your area of interest.
- A Sheet music will show you both the cleffs so that you can play note to note as printed for both your hands.
- A folio is a collection of sheets. The pieces in a folio are usually grouped based on a certain theme, such as songs written by a specific artist or a band or any particular style of music.
- A lead sheet on the other hand only provides the melody cleff and gives you the chords so that you can improvise your Piano Keyboard playing.
Since the music chart only provides the notes for the melody, you should know what you are going to do with your left hand. Learn some left hand accompaniments and rhythmic patterns which you can use to play the chords. Learn to play the chords as 3-note, 4-note arpeggios. You can even train your left hand to play the melody so that for some bars you can play the melody line with both your hands.
- Lead sheets are also grouped based on some common theme and sold as a collection, known as a fakebook.

There are many who feel that synthesizers are not natural instruments and different from other acoustic musical instrments, just because they need electricity to produce sounds? I consider myself very fortunate, to live in a century that science and technology offer more ways to extend the needs of music. I believe strongly, trying to separate these two sources, it would be a big mistake. For me, a sound is a sound no matter where it comes from. To put labels and to separate the acoustic sounds-as wrongly they have been called- and the synthesizers, is a big mistake.
