sheet music, music songs


When I went through an internship to became a Fitness Instructor I thought it would be a piece of cake considering the fact that I have been an avid workout person since my teens. A lot of the information came naturally to me as my interests lie in the fitness and healthy eating arena.

The challenge for me was music songs. I had no formal or even informal education regarding sheet music. I had never played an instrument of any kind and am not a great vocalist. And I had no idea how it affected a workout session. I could however tell a good instructor from bad and the flow of the classes sometimes went better for some than others. With my education of sheet music and beats per musical phrase I had a working understanding of good classes verses not so good.

This information helped me to plan my own choreography once I was a Certified Fitness Instructor. I was easily able to create classes using music songs that were motivational and had the right rhythm for the class.
