perfect for the casual musician!
So far this has all the terms in it that I’ve had to look up. I’m just starting music again after being away for years so I’m pretty much back to the beginning. But I remember having this dictionary years ago and loving it so got another to replace it after losing it. It obviously doesn’t tell you much about the composers but for looking up musical terms this is more than sufficient.

Found the definition I was looking for…
I was a little apprehensive about purchasing this item because I wasn’t too sure it would have the definition of the term I was looking for. But lo and behold, it was in there! I was so excited.I can’t leave a five star review because I haven’t read the whole book yet but so far, things look great. This is book is so handy for any musician to keep near their instrument, they can grab it if they need to on a whim.So, most likely the definition of the term you’re looking for would be in this book.

Very good buy.
Well written and very practical to have in your shirt pocket or your gig case. It explains in a very concise manner from all the different shades on nuances to most of the great composers. Even though you might think you know everything about music, you’ll always find something new and taken by surprise by some information you didn’t know. Well worth the prize.

Excellent small music dictionary
It was a gift for a musical high school student. He seemed very happy to receive the book. I have a degree in choral music and just scanning through the entries it seemed to cover a lot for the high school student.

Hal Leonard Pocket Music Dictionary
For a little pocket dictionary, it’s got a lot in it. I like the way it is organized. It fits easily into my bag and on my nightstand. I am very happy with it. I still may shop around for a larger music dictionary but in the meantime this one is great and I will use it even when I get a bigger one.
