Welcome!
Welcome to my website, where you will learn just a snippet of the vast history of music notation. A quick note before we begin: my own history learning background is in Western music and notation; therefore, much of this will be about Western notation, though an attempt will be made to tie in some non-Western history, specifically within the Pre-700s tab. Feel free to email me with questions or for links to further reading. You can also click HERE to find my short webliography on sources for music notation. Watch the YouTube video below by History of Simple Things on an overview of the (Western) history of music notation. Thank you for visiting!
