Creative Music Sketchbook
For music theory classes, songwriting, and music composition
If you’re someone who writes songs, takes music theory classes, or composes music, you need a music staff notebook for writing down your ideas, sketches, or lessons.

As a musician and a music teacher, I wanted to create a better book for myself and for my students.
