Abstract
An improved music notation system. The music notation system broadly uses numbers for notes, colors for octaves or scales, and bars and symbols for note duration. The system is easy to team and use and can be adapted for use by any instrument, e.g., a keyboard instrument.

- a number from 1 through 12 for each of the twelve notes in an octave;
- a color that is unique to each octave of the instrument;
- and
- at least one symbol denoting a duration of each note to be played on the instrument,
- wherein the at least one symbol is used to denote 1 second, at least one fraction of 1 second, and a combination thereof, wherein each distinctive duration between greater than zero and 1 second has a unique symbol, and wherein each of the number, color, and at least one symbol are provided on a geometric shape having four sides.
