The Oxford Dictionary of Musical Terms (Oxford Quick Reference)

Great small size and extensive references to musical terms. Just what a beginner needs to become familiar with musical terms.

I’ve had musical dictionaries all my life. NONE were as comprehensive as this one. Perfect for teachers or students.

Love it! I can find all of the music forms in this dictionary.

Great first dictionary of musical terms for young/intermediate instrumental music students. Ridiculously cheap price!

Great for when you have that special piece of music and you don't know a term.

This came well packaged. As a music major in college, it comes in handy almost every day. I would recommend.

I've got A lot left to learn, and I am grateful to God & Man for THE OXFORD DICTIONARY OF MUSICAL TERMS; For A book that I can learn from!

Great. Very helpful.

This book is roughly A5 sized (see my photo) and is 203 sides crammed with musical terms. It's a great book to dip into whenever some new musical term comes across my path. I'm a beginner pianist so it happens quite often. Sometimes it may be more convenient to google a term, but a lot of the time I find it easier to pick up this book form the shelf by my keyboard. Quite often I find myself going on to read the next term as well as the one I was after!The explanations of each term are easy to understand. It's a well-written dictionary. It has some figures to illustrate points, although these can sometimes be too small to read. The font is also just about big enough, but I'd have preferred it to be slightly larger.In conclusion, I'd definitely buy this dictionary again. I hope this review has helped you in your buying decision.

This book actually does what it says, it has musical terms in alphabetical order and it is very handy for looking up the precise meaning of any notation you may come across in musical scores.

Book bought for a gift and front cover damaged ! Very disappointed. Had to order new one.

Good dictionary of music terminology if you are an active music student. The paper pages are grey hence cheap price

Concise and very useful, just what I was looking for, for score reading and for inspiration for new ideas for composition.
