Quick guide on how to read the letter notes

how to read and play the letter notes
Each group of letter notes is played from left to right, and vertical letters on the same column are played together.

The numbers in front of each line are the octave, each octave has an unique color so you can easily follow them.

Lowercase (a b c d e f g) letters are natural notes (white keys, a.k.a A B C D E F G ).
Uppercase (A C D F G) letters are the sharp notes (black keys a.k.a. A# C# D# F# G#), look at the image below to see where each letter note is on the piano keyboard.

The lines / dashes (-) between letters indicates timing to play the notes. Just listen to the audio file at the top of the post to figure out the time lenght of the dashes (usually 5-6 dashes is about 1 second)

RH / LH means Right Hand / Left Hand and it's mostly for people who play the piano, it tells them with what hand to play the lines. Also, if you want to play a easy version of the song, playing only the RH lines does exactly that, because on most songs RH notes are for melody and LH notes are for bass.

  1. Sinne Fianna Fáil,
    Atá faoi gheall ag Eirinn,
    Buíonn dár slua, thar toinn do ráinig chugainn,
    Faoi mhóid bheith saor, seantír ár sinsear feasta
    Ní fhágfar faoin tíorán ná faoin tráill;
    Anocht a théam sa Bhearna Baoil
    Le gean ar Ghaeil chun báis nó saoil,
    le gunnaí scréach, trí lámhach na bpiléar,
    Seo dhíbh canáigh, Amhrán na bhFiann.

    Original English version:
    Soldiers are we,
    Whose lives are pledged to Ireland,
    Some have come from a land beyond the wave,
    Sworn to be free, no more our ancient sireland
    Shall shelter the despot or the slave;
    Tonight we man the Bearna Baoil
    In Erin’s cause come woe or weal,
    ‘Mid cannon’s roar and rifle’s peal,
    We’ll chant a soldier’s song.
