Internet and the Evolution of Practice Charts in Music

We can easily attribute the beginning of music practice charts to the inscriptions of mediaeval European monasteries

. Priests here wrote music on parchment. These have become invaluable collectibles which are priced at thousands of dollars today.

By the 1800s, America and Europe started printing music practice charts for both serious and popular music. We must also remember that this period brought about industrial revolution and the subsequent formation of middle class. The latter especially had time and leisure for purchasing musical instruments (mainly the piano). They also hired instructors to teach their children; hence the need for music practice chart.

Exit of a huge number of people during World War II from Germany and other Nazi territories due to Hitler's annihilation and torture forced several eminent composers to flee Germany. Distinguished among them were Arnold Schoenberg, Igor Stravinsky and Bela Bartok and several others. This ushered a boom in music in the rest of Europe.

Nowadays, the age of information has brought music practice charts available almost everywhere. Even though most never care as they can freely download music from the internet, yet across that very internet, there are many affiliate programs particularly for printable music charts. There's no need for knowing who the composer of the music is, ahead of making the chart available. There are different computer software that can effectively reproduce music from a music practice chart, simply by playing a tune.

Especially notable among these are the websites for music students which help them to learn music through readily available music practice charts of any type or kind. Playing musical instruments are also included in a computerized music practice chart, including information on how an instrument is tuned, held and pressed. For anybody intending to learn music, the internet is indeed the oyster of opportunities.
