This deck of 48 Knowledge Cards will acquaint you with the how, and more importantly the why, of music notation. Informed, thorough, and amazingly concise miniature essays explain concepts like time signature, dynamics, and ornamentation. Notation samples on the cards' backs show how those concepts are expressed. Music composition is art, science, and magic entwined. It's a fascinating subject to study. These cards are a fine place to start, and an excellent quick reference if you just want to brush up on what you might have forgotten. Click on the small picture to see sample cards.
