What are some tips for beginners on how to read and interpret flat sheet music effectively?

To read and interpret flat sheet music effectively as a beginner, start by learning the basics of music notation, such as note names, rhythms, and key signatures. Practice sight-reading regularly to improve your skills. Pay attention to dynamics, tempo markings, and articulations to understand the musical expression. Use a metronome to help with timing and practice playing slowly at first. Finally, listen to recordings of the music you are learning to understand how it should sound.
