Music is an art that’s meant to be heard. The beauty of listening to your favorite songs is that you don’t have to do anything at all! But playing music is an accomplished skill. Knowing how to find the right pitch and reading sheet music takes years of practice. Do you know how to read sheet music? If you’ve ever learned how to play an instrument, you should at least know the basics. But a true musician will know how to read any song and play it on sight. Do you have what it takes? Can you tell the difference between a whole, half, quarter, eighth, or even shorter note? How about which notes are on each line and space? How can you tell if a note is flat or sharp? How will you know if you’re supposed to play the music loudly or softly, legato or staccato? What’s a crescendo and what do the two dots at the end of the staff? Take this quiz to prove you’re a true musician!
