I'm relearning the piano (electrical and classic). I quit playing the piano when I was 13, and I'm 21 now. I remember some things, but no pieces.

What I'm looking for is a resource which will help me relearn how to fluently read piano notes. I don't want to be bombarded with a bunch of beginner help... simply straight-to-the-point help reading notes (as I learn best when things are straight to the point).

If anyone knows of an online guide, please link me to one. If you have any other recommendations, again, please let me know.

Fg can be paid if your help is actually useful. I've wasted a ton of fg when help learning photoshop before (and the promises of "this link will be awesome send me 50fg" turned out to be absolutely useless); if you are useful I will give you fg.

Book:

Brown Book of scales

Go back to your Grade 1 repertoire, Royal Conservatory. That'll get the wheels turning again.

I'll shoot you a link if I find one tomorrow.

I think I have the book, but I'm looking for something much more straight-forward. The difficulty is these books are designed sort-of for a lower age group it seems.

Not trying to be an ass or anything, but this is the most straight forward thing I can think of. Copy it, make some note cards and run with it.

Other than that, learn key signatures and practice scales.

Edit:
You can use the above to do these.
I'm assuming you know what flats and sharps are then? So use this:
Major Scales


and
Minor Scales:

Thanks that's straight-to-the-point. My googling wasn't coming up with stuff. Maybe I didn't type in something simple enough :-/

Anyways sent some fg for that help. Looks like a good start.

I am going to sit down for a couple hours for tomorrow and soak it all in. Relearning stuff isn't too hard... it's just hard finding the resources to do it the best way
