Numbered Notes Blog http://numberednotes.com/blog If you can count to 12 you can play music! Sat, 06 Feb 2010 01:37:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 en hourly 1 New Website http://numberednotes.com/blog/?p=18 http://numberednotes.com/blog/?p=18#comments Sat, 06 Feb 2010 01:37:25 +0000 Jason http://numberednotes.com/blog/?p=18 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.

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!

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.

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?

letters vs numbers on keyboard

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.
