No-C-Notes bridges the gap between blind or low vision musicians and printed music notation. You need never read music again!

No-C-Notes® Music

No-C-Notes Music is an easy and cost effective way of using sheet music notation. It can be used by the singer, songwriter, teacher or instrumentalist who wants their sheet music spoken, not written. There is no need to learn clefs, staffs, ledger lines, note heads and flags or other visual sheet music notation as this method reads the actual tone and timing without having to know its placement on paper. Whether used for voice, keyboards guitar, strings or woodwinds, it gives musicians a common verbal language for reading their sheet music to one another.
