Musician's Notebook: Manuscript Paper for Inspiration and Composition

I purchased this item as a gift for a creative musician I know. The size is convenient to carry, the pages are professional music manuscript pages, and each page includes quotations from well known musicians talking about what inspires them. Ideal for jotting down musical ideas as they occur, or noting musical phrases from compositions heard. I was pleased that the gift was so pleasing.

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 helped me write music so easily. I would simply give it five stars!

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.

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.
