ABSTRACT:
A method of conveying musical information is described. The method includes the steps of assigning sequential alphabetic and numeric designations as a system of reference to the physical location of individual piano keys on a piano keyboard, the physical location corresponding to the location of the structural form of tonal relatioships in the numeric scale of vibrations per second used in the even-tempered, twelve-tone system of Western music, and modeling a musical passage comprised of a series of tones by compiling printed or electronically stored indicia of one or more of the numeric designations, the numeric designation corresponding to the series of tones of the musical passage. A numeric sequence is then presented to a student via visual or auditory means.
