More about this title

Why we love this

This dictionary sits on the shelf between your score studies and your teaching materials because it answers the questions that come up constantly: What does that Italian marking mean? How do you pronounce this composer's name? What's the difference between a cello and a bass? The cross-referencing system means students don't just get a definition; they get context, and the electronic music section keeps the reference current in a way most older dictionaries simply don't.

Who it's for

Any musician or teacher who needs reliable, accessible definitions without wading through academic jargon. String teachers, band directors, and piano instructors will find themselves reaching for this constantly, and serious students benefit from having a single, authoritative source rather than piecing together answers from multiple references.

Skills your students will build

  • recognizing and interpreting Italian, French, Spanish, and German musical terminology
  • understanding historical context of composers across six centuries
  • identifying orchestral and band instruments by name, range, and notation
  • decoding musical symbols and tempo markings with confidence
