You cannot read a score if you don’t know the language. The Notation Reference is a complete dictionary with definitions, Italian pronunciation guides, and grade levels — so you always know exactly what the composer meant. The quiz system turns passive knowledge into active recall.
Notation Reference — dictionary view

From allegro to zoppo — tempo, dynamics, technique, form, and ornament markings — every term you'll encounter in the standard repertoire.
Each term includes Italian pronunciation guidance. When you see it in a score, you know how to say it.
Terms are tagged Level 1–8, aligned with the Gradus curriculum. Study what's relevant to where you are now.
Term-by-term review. See the term, recall the definition. The classical way to build vocabulary under recall conditions.
Timed multiple-choice questions from the full reference. Challenge yourself under exam conditions with adaptive difficulty.
Match terms to definitions in a grid. A faster, more active way to cement knowledge before a lesson or rehearsal.
Included with every Gradus subscription — the reference you keep open while reading.
