    I want to learn how to play the piano. I'm going to be taking lesson soon but is there anyway that I can teach myself how to read the notes? Is there any websites? Please help.

    I play the piano right now. I would buy flashcards from your teacher or go to a music store and buy them. Learning notes is not that hard. Just remember that the lines are EGBDF from the bottom (Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge) The spaces are the letters inbetween starting with F.
    Good luck playing the piano. I hope you like it!

    This website is pretty good:

    http://datadragon.com/education/reading/

    The best way is probably to get a beginner's piano book at your local music store (if you have one) and start to slowly work your way through it. Most piano methods start you playing before they teach you to read the notes, anyway.

    If you order online, almost any beginner's book will do: Leila Fletcher, Edna Mae Burnam, Piano Adventures, John Thompson, Bastien, etc. Just make sure your book is labeled something like "Primer" or "Book I."

    Once you find a website that has the notes written out on the staff, and where they are located on the piano keyboard, the best thing you can do is memorize.
