Gaby15 9,827 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Gaga is often seen using special handwritten notes to play the piano instead of regular sheet music, most recently during the Oscar rehearsal. At other times, especially when she is singing covers, you can see regular sheet music in her hands. Can anyone tell me how common this type of notes is in general or why she is using them?

The Fame 4,130 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I obviously can't answer for Gaga but I wonder if with the covers she just takes them from a song book (since she didn't write them) and for her original songs she just uses her handwritten notes I assume she writes as she composes a melody.

Guest Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 from what I've seen, she just has the chords written in American notation and without the rythmical figures instead of having them written in a pentagram... It's not unusual, that's how I wrote them when I studied guitar, it's easier for a quick read specially if it's simpler music ( let's face it she's not playing classical piano when she's palying in her shows) and I guess, since she sometimes improvises, it helps her remember the tonality she's playing in.
