Piano..
I can't read the notes! I've really tried. Are there people who just can't read notes or something? I've looked at websites online, asked my teacher, everything. I've been playing piano for like a month, but only by memory or writing down the number of what finger to play. How long does it usually take for someone to read notes? Do you have a really easy way? I can't even read them with the whole acronym thing. I feel so stupid!

ohh honey, Ive been taking piano since I was four, and honestly i couldn't read music fast untill I was in 5th grade, when I started saxophone in the school band. but, in our school's band, we practice every single day for 45 minutes. But saxophones only use treble cleff, so now I can sight read treble clef very quickly, but my bass clef is still weak! and im in 10th grade now! So basicly, it took a long time. I only finally figuered it out with intense practicing and brute force. (mean band teacher) Dont fret after just one month!!!!!! (sorry I got a little off-topic there)
Oh, and the acronyms can help, but its confusing which ones go with the lines and spaces on which clef. So, remember- the second line up on a treble clef, aka the one that the symbol wraps around, is G.
On base clef, the two dots on the symbol are arond the F line. thats why base cleff is somtimes called "F clef"
Also, try reading flash cards, or go get like a little kids activity book for note reading. You can get those at music stores.

On each piece, write out the meanings of each note. Eventually you'll know which ones to write without looking them up, and then you'll be able to play without writing out the meanings. It will take time, for me it took months, but you'll get it eventually.

Don't. I had the same problem for the longest time. My cure was that a friend of mine stole some staff paper from our music teacher, and wrote me secret notes in the music codes. For the letters that weren't there, she just wrote them over the lines, like guitar chords. You learn them, just like a code, and if you keep at it, it gets WAY easier. I promise!
