Berklee Contemporary Music Notation A Comprehensive Guide to Music Scoring | Learn Notation for Staffs Lead Sheets Guitar Tabs and More | Create Professional Sheet Music Review: Great book with a great layout - If you want the low-down on all aspects of music notation, this is the book. I love the layout -- nice big print, easy to read, gets right to the point, etc.. The book itself is large and the info is spread out smartly over the pages. Good use of tables, staves, etc. to get the points across in pictures. Really great insights into the best ways of creating useful musical notation in a variety of situations, along with plenty of examples of "OK" and "Bad" use of notation. The writing style is itself contemporary and conversational (that is, not overly formal and dry), which keeps the subject matter from being deathly boring. When reading the book, I feel like I am having a conversation with my music teacher. It has also made me rather critical of poorly laid out arrangements and horrible use (or lack of use) of proper notation. This matters, because I used to think I was the one with the problem when I found reading certain sheet music difficult. Since reading this book, I've become a more critical purchaser of sheet music just by seeing how much effort was put into the musical notation. I'd rather pay $10 for sheet music with great notation than paying $2 for sheet music with mistakes and confusing (or no) helpful notation. Review: Told me things I didn’t know. - This book is not only thorough, it’s more than thorough. I’ve been playing the piano for 70 years and, as my title here says, I discovered things in the book that we’re new to me. My advice is, if you’re on the fence about a purchase of this, go ahead with it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0876391781 | | Best Sellers Rank | #398,420 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #51 in Songwriting #369 in Music Theory (Books) #835 in Music Instruction & Study (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (142) | | Dimensions | 9 x 0.48 x 12 inches | | ISBN-10 | 9780876391785 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0876391785 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 200 pages | | Publication date | September 1, 2017 | | Publisher | Berklee Press | ## Images ![Berklee Contemporary Music Notation A Comprehensive Guide to Music Scoring | Learn Notation for Staffs Lead Sheets Guitar Tabs and More | Create Professional Sheet Music - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61SDJMAsApL.jpg) ![Berklee Contemporary Music Notation A Comprehensive Guide to Music Scoring | Learn Notation for Staffs Lead Sheets Guitar Tabs and More | Create Professional Sheet Music - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ObNkXnKCL.jpg) ![Berklee Contemporary Music Notation A Comprehensive Guide to Music Scoring | Learn Notation for Staffs Lead Sheets Guitar Tabs and More | Create Professional Sheet Music - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615Jj5IiUaL.jpg) ![Berklee Contemporary Music Notation A Comprehensive Guide to Music Scoring | Learn Notation for Staffs Lead Sheets Guitar Tabs and More | Create Professional Sheet Music - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61evBxQH98L.jpg) ![Berklee Contemporary Music Notation A Comprehensive Guide to Music Scoring | Learn Notation for Staffs Lead Sheets Guitar Tabs and More | Create Professional Sheet Music - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Jy6DUreCL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book with a great layout *by X***E on March 26, 2020* If you want the low-down on all aspects of music notation, this is the book.

I am currently taking some Orchestration courses and it is proving to be a very helpful handbook. ## Frequently Bought Together - Berklee Contemporary Music Notation A Comprehensive Guide to Music Scoring | Learn Notation for Staffs Lead Sheets Guitar Tabs and More | Create Professional Sheet Music - Music Notation: Preparing Scores and Parts - Contemporary Counterpoint - Theory & Application of Polyphony from Basic to Advanced Level - Book/Online Audio (Music Theory: Counterpoint) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/58825290-berklee-contemporary-music-notation-a-comprehensive-guide-to-music-scoring](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/58825290-berklee-contemporary-music-notation-a-comprehensive-guide-to-music-scoring) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
