The first thing you must do is identify the key and time signature. Then scan the notation to identify the highest and lowest notes, as well as marked techniques that you have to be ready for. This may help determine a suitable position, as well as identify which scale patterns you will use. Many instruments (such as guitar) can interpret legato numerous ways. Some instruments are incapable of sounding certain markings (portamento on piano), but can instead use a similar technique (playing the chromatic scale). You must also take note of the major repetition markings, keying in on the location of Segno's and Coda's.
