Numbered Musical Notation - Performing Numbered Music On Keyboard

Performing Numbered Music On Keyboard

It is possible to perform music in numbered musical notation in the tradition way. The player first locates the root note of the key on the keyboard and then mentally map the number to the keys on the keyboard. This should not be difficult for someone who can play the scales with traditional piano training.

A simple way is to transpose the root note to where the middle C is. The music can then be performed with the same fingering as in C Major. This approach actually reduces the 12 sets of fingering down to one. The method is described in MRN Method (Middle Root Note Method).

Famous quotes containing the words performing and/or music:

    Do you see that kitten chasing so prettily her own tail? If you could look with her eyes, you might see her surrounded with hundreds of figures performing complex dramas, with tragic and comic issues, long conversations, many characters, many ups and downs of fate,—and meantime it is only puss and her tail.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I am advised to give her music a’ mornings; they say it will
    penetrate.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
