Musical Notation \ud83c\udfbc and the Mandarin Field<\/h4>\n

In this post about a Mandarin expression found in our songbook, another subject that I want to touch on is: Is musical notation \ud83c\udfbc too hard to be worth the trouble of producing it and using it? Are fewer and fewer people able to read it? I was fortunate enough to have been taught how to read musical notation in school. I have never thought of musical notation as being particularly difficult to use (it\u2019s much easier to learn than characters, which many unquestioningly try to learn), and I find that it helps me to sing Kingdom songs more correctly (according to the intended melody, message, etc.) and more confidently more of the time. However, I am aware that not everyone in the Mandarin field has the same experience with musical notation. For example, a while ago, an older brother told me that he didn\u2019t know how to read musical notation. Also, some people in the Mandarin field may have been affected by how education systems in this old world have been facing significant<\/a> challenges<\/a> relating to providing music education for younger ones.<\/p>\n

Regardless of how the world may be failing in many cases to equitably provide good music education, Jehovah\u2019s organization has pointed out that music is important in Jehovah\u2019s worship. For example, not long ago, a Meeting Workbook<\/a> said:<\/p>\n

\nMusic can have a powerful influence on the mind and body. Singing is an important part of our worship of Jehovah.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In accordance with the importance of music in Jehovah\u2019s worship, Mandarin field language learners used to have available to them official material from the organization containing musical notation with P\u012bny\u012bn<\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t(P\u012bn\u00b7y\u012bn\n\t\t\t{Piecing Together of} \u00b7 Sounds \u2192<\/span> [Pinyin]<\/span>\n\t\t\t\u62fc\u97f3)<\/span> in the lyrics.

The organization continues to publish official songbook material for different languages in general that contains musical notation, so it evidently still considers musical notation to generally be worthwhile to produce.
