Ok so I totally forgot how to play the piano I played for years but I haven't played since I moved so about 2 years. I never learned how to read the music my teacher just wrote the letters under it and eventually i played by heart. I did take a class at the same place where my piano class was but so few people took it that the class closed. Anyway I also forgot which keys are which I remember e d and b but plz also mention them and the flats and sharps. I really want to play again i feel like a part of me is missing without the piano. Also I forgot how you can tell which notes r 4 the right and which are for the left. plz just mention anything that would appear on sheetmusic. And if you know any websites (preferably free ones) or books plz post them here. And any additional tips plz post thanks
U don't have 2 read the entire thing, i know that its long, also could u tell me on which line each note is on, thanks and half notes and that stuff thanks

Quarter Notes, Half Notes I'm trying to Teach The Basics

Music Theory for Beginners

So far I have a decent understanding on measures, beats and the different music notes, (whole notes, quarter notes and half notes)......I'm a total newbie. I can't even really play an instrument yet, though I am learning guitar and learning pretty fast.

Well, I've sorta tried composing my own measures. It's a simple song, with only two chords, but I really like how it sounds, and I wanted to put it to music notes but there's still a couple things I don't get.

Ok, there is a picture to go by.

1. Why are some music notes upside down? Are they the same as regular quarter, half and whole notes or not?

2. What exactly are the different lines for and why are music notes placed on different lines, if like, with my song, you're using only the same two chords?

Thank you!!
