## Description

Essential Dictionary of Music Notation (The essential dictionary series]): The Most Practical and Concise Source for Music Notation : Gerou, Tom, Lusk, Linda: desertcart.co.uk: Stationery & Office Supplies

Review: Great resource for new piano players - Love: 1. well written and easy to understand 2. for my initial queries, easy to find the answer + what made me laugh .... 3. It is tiny 14 cm by 10.4cm
Review: Covers all of the essentials - recommended - An excellent little book that covers all the essentials of modern, standard music notation. It's very well presented and laid out - the text is very clear and there are numerous music examples which only add to the clarity. Early methods of notation, such as neumes, exotic modern notation techniques (for example for aleatoric or electronic music) and notation for non-western instruments are not covered. Tablature for string instruments such as guitars is dealt with briefly but adequately. It's also small and so, easily portable. Recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Covers all of the essentials - recommended
*by M***D on 17 April 2018*

An excellent little book that covers all the essentials of modern, standard music notation. It's very well presented and laid out - the text is very clear and there are numerous music examples which only add to the clarity. Early methods of notation, such as neumes, exotic modern notation techniques (for example for aleatoric or electronic music) and notation for non-western instruments are not covered. Tablature for string instruments such as guitars is dealt with briefly but adequately. It's also small and so, easily portable. Recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Precise and concise!
*by A***A on 13 April 2016*

Very good comprehensive dictionary of notation. Clearly presented with plenty of examples throughout. Arrows illustrate the right ways to notate and common mistakes are pointed out (see example on 'beaming' quavers below). Can be used as a reference for dipping into or reading cover to cover. Good value for money indeed!
