The Numbered Notes website is getting a “make over”. We are adding: updated songs, new keyboard to play, iPhone App, links to socail networking, new videos, and a song of the week. Soon people from around the world will be able to play music in one sitting.
New Website
February 6th, 2010Why the numbers?
June 3rd, 2009Because numbers are the best way to navigate a linear sequence. Numbering each note also allows you to see the numberical distance between two notes, thus making it easy to see their interval relationship. For example, the distance between a 1 note and an 8 note is +7…..so +7 is the interval.
Using letters is not as usefull!
Soon, I will be doing tests with groups of first time keyboard players comparing Traditional to NN. I can’t wait!

Updates….
May 11th, 2009Numbered notes will be continuing to add to the site each week. We will have more songs, stickers for sale and video lessons. Numbered notes is an attempt to improve written music to make it easier to learn and play. These new updates will be coming soon. If anyone has suggestions please let me know.
The future of written music
April 22nd, 2009NN is like a software upgrade for written music. Letters with sharps and flats area legacy from earlier times when there were only 7 notes A-G. Using numbers is an obvious sollution for indexing something incrementally. You wouldn’t count to 12 by saying 1, 1sharp, 2, 2 sharp…and so on. Using numbers for pitch is hopefully the future of written music….your thoughts?
Numbered Notes Overview…

letters vs numbers on keyboard
Numbered Notes uses numbers 1-12 for each halfstep in an octave. Notes are placed into a 12 note staff. Each octave range is given a number, the middle octave range is “octave 4″. Using numbers 1-12 also allows a much easier way to see the intervals between two notes. This actually helps beginners understand and use theory much faster then they would trying to use traditional notation.
