Hire Music Transcriptionists
Music transcription is the process of listening to a piece of performed music (a live performance or recording) and make an attempt to write it down in musical notes or words. This could be done as a score, guitar tablature, simplified notation, or even your own informal shorthand. Being able to transcribe music relies on a range of listening skills, including good absolute and relative pitch skills, along with chord knowledge and rhythm skills. Music enthusiasts have good language and listening skills which enables them to transcribe a song lyrics.
Transcription in Music is the act of notating (a musical note is a system which represents aurally produced music through the use of written symbols) a piece which was previously not notated. Transcriptions help the performer to learn the piece by creating notes for all kinds of music. Transcriptions are common for music such as jazz (which usually consists of improvisation) and folk, which traditionally is taught from one generation to another by listening and imitating.
