## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent little book
  

*by J***L on Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2022*

This little book is an easy-to-read guide that explains all of the how-tos and rules about music notation.  Very handy for anyone who composes or arranges (or just wants to understand what's on their sheet music).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great music notation book!  A must for musicians
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2019*

Don't let the small size of the book fool you. This book is packed with drawings of the music notation accompanying each definition, so you know what the they look like. I thought it was the best book on Amazon that had drawings of music notation. You don't need to study this whole book. Just refer to it when you come across some music notation that you don't know what it is. The book is in alphabetical order. If you don't know what the name of the music notation is in your sheet music to find it in this book, then look it up in a search engine on your computer using only a few words to describe what it looks like. Then you will know the name of the music notation and can find it in this book. Use this book along with the "Harvard Concise Dictionary of Music". Like it's name says, it's concise. The "Harvard Concise Dictionary of Music" is very inexpensive on Amazon, too. This book has no drawings of the music notation.  It has in depth definitions on music notation and meny other things about music that the "Essential Dictionary of Music Notation" does not have. It is a great book to use together with the Essential Dictionary of Music Notation. In my opinion, both are essential reference books for musicians.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good only for Beginners.  Has no composer biographies
  

*by K***D on Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2016*

As a music educator and concert pianist for most of my life,  I would only suggest this for beginning students.  If you're serious about music or have  studied  for  three years or more, I would suggest  the Schirmer Pocket Manual of Musical Terms  (5th edition).  Although the Schirmer edition  is over 20 years out of date,  it  includes  essential information in  advanced orchestration and  music theory such as 'Neapolitan sixths'  and many other topics not found in this pocket manual.  As a music educator, I  have always included the study of great  composers including contemporary personalities.  As an advocate of 20th century serious (classical) music  I  must admit the  Schirmer Company  is no longer an advocate of music and composers and  like so many other publishers, believes there is no need to update the 1995 edition.  I believe every pocket dictionary should include an appendix with brief listings of the major composers of music.  When one must spend time penciling in so many new composers and include (sadly) the death of great men of music like Copland and Bill Schumann  at least at present, I know of no new editions of  pocket music dictionaries.  Having said this,  if you are a beginner,  this small manual does  explain all the basics.  The index, however,  is very lacking and only basic.
