I recently bought myself a Moleskine pocket music notebook, and it's a great, classy travelling companion for any composer or musician.It offers plenty of room for ideas to be jotted down, and the quality of the print of the staffs is just fine. The size of the music staffs, from the top line to the bottom line of the 5 lines, is 0.8 cm. I would not have minded a size smaller, 0.6 cm, but the current size also is fine for my needs.I noticed Moleskine now also offers a large format music notebook, and I will be getting that one as well.There's one other wish that I have, and that is a music notebook in A3 format. It may seem like a strange wish, but once you have worked with a big A3 Folio sketchbook you know what I'm talking about.
I've been carrying this notebook around for the entire summer and can honestly say that it's useful as a sketchbook. I've jotted down some of the main themes of the tone poem i just finished first in the moleskine.What i wish is that the company would also make a music notebook in their larger format because while I can write down melodic fragments writing out anything that requires 2 or 3 voices is incredibly difficult on such small pages. On the whole I think I will buy another once I've filled my current one as even with the drawbacks of the size it beats carrying around folded up pieces of staff paper which invariably get worn out in ones pocket.
great value and small size make this a no-brainer for people who need do things that involve creativity in their daily routine. For myself this product is awesome, I work a job that involves almost no mental involvement but pays well, so this Moleskine Music note book is great for working on daily solfege and composition projects. 8 stave's is more than enough, but I recommend a.04mm pen instead of pencil as pages smudge with pencil.just remember to wait for the ink to dry before closing the book.
If you write music, then you know inspiration strikes in unexpected places. This provides a useful way to transcribe these for later development. There's handy folder inside the cover for to-do lists too.
I purchased this notebook for my daughter who plays guitar and writes her own tunes and lyrics. It's great for her lessons, as her teacher can print out snippets for her to practice and she can record all her compositions in one place as well. It's high quality paper and durable cover will make for an archive she can treasure forever.
