"A Music Transcription Method: Notating Recorded Music by Ear teaches how to leverage music dictation in the modern music industry. The book's four parts cover aspects of preparation, process, interpretation, and industry resources related to notating recorded music by ear. Taking a modular approach, the book guides readers from an initial subject overview to leveraging the craft for their own projects and careers. Each chapter includes an industry interview featuring diverse practitioner perspectives from Broadway, LA's film scoring scene, contemporary Jazz and Pop, orchestral and marching band styles, music educators, and music entrepreneurs. Transcribed sheet music examples, provided by members of GroundUP Music and several independent creators illustrate the transcription process, while field-relevant scholarly, educational, and professional references further illuminate the state of inquiry in music transcription. Learning outcomes, exploratory chapter activities, visual chapter maps and further instructional visuals, are included to support the learning styles of diverse readers. Supported by online resources offering a growing repository of reference materials, including sample materials and instructional videos with a focus on technology literacy, this is essential reading for undergraduates on music transcription, arranging and orchestration courses for a variety of musical contexts and genres, as well as musicians perfecting their music notation skills"--
