If you need sheet music to practice, and you want to throw me a few cents to support this blog, please check out Virtual Sheet Music, Inc. But again, no worries if you don’t know it! We’re all constantly learning in this industry so no one should make you feel dumb for not knowing certain things.

Plus there are many videos on YouTube about how to read sheet music, which are better than I could explain here. I could get really technical with this and tell you about every symbol of sheet music and what it means, but this is one of those things that you either don’t need to know or you’re already learning it (if you’re a musician taking lessons to read music). Sort of like Google maps for sheet music. So throughout the piece of sheet music, you’ll see signs of where to go and how to get there. Since paper costs money, it’s easier to include certain markers in the song, letting people know “hey, just go back and do what you already did.” It’s easier this way, especially back when symphonies were written and the songs were way longer. In many cases, songs repeat themselves in certain sections (such as the verses and chorus). However, in the context of music, a coda is a. In fact, the word coda can be used when talking about any kind of ending in general. For example, coda can refer to the end or the concluding section of a speech.

If that symbol isn’t there, you won’t need to worry about it. The word coda may be confusing sometimes as it has multiple definitions depending on the context in which it’s used.

On the right side, it’s the thing that looks like a bullseye over the bar.
