The Musician's Notebook

Customer Reviews

• Great for your creative ideas!  Nov 14, 2001 (6 of 6 found this helpful)

  This book is a great way to document your creative musical ideas as they come to you. And allows you to keep your ideas in one spot. A must have for any musician who finds the creative bug hitting at any time or place.

• Fantastic  Nov 28, 2002 (7 of 8 found this helpful)

  Don't listen to the other [people] who gave this a negative review, they were probably thinking that this book would teach them to play. What this book is, is simply a space to write out music with blank chord charts, treble clef lines, bass clef lines, and even room for tablature too. On each page is a quote from many well known musicians and the quotes were chosen very well. My only complaint is that the book is too small for the ammount of music writing I do but my handy photocopier can fix that in a jiff.

• Excellent for Keeping a Record  Jul 3, 2005 (4 of 4 found this helpful)

  It was a gift from my roommate when I was a music major in college. It definitely doesn't add up to simply buying staff paper when composing, transposing, and all that fun stuff. However, I found this book extremely valuable when I was just trying to organize all of my songs that I was recording at the time.
  
  My only complaint - and one that I saw in another review - is that there is simply not enough room for some of my longer songs/lyrics. There is a lined area in the back, though, where I have been able to add additional verses to songs or notes.

• This is NOT plain manuscript paper  Mar 23, 2009 (3 of 3 found this helpful)

  I thought I was getting a booklet of plain manuscript paper for my kid's music lessons, but it's not. It's kind of for writing songs and stuff. I don't know that a real musician would use this kind of book, it doesn't lay flat open and it's filled with "inspirational" junk that seems unnecessary. I ended up going to Guitar Center and buying a plain book of manuscript paper that serves the purpose better.

• Great Reaction  Aug 26, 2008 

  I bought this for my husband, and he was very excited about the layout and having the ability to write for both piano and guitar in the same book. He hasn't had time to use it yet, but he had a great reaction when he received it.
