Capture Music Anywhere With Moleskines

It’s happened too often that I had a brilliant tune while sitting in the bus, just to end up at home at my instrument, having forgotten how it went.

You may argue that if it didn’t stick, it wasn’t that brilliant, but the point is that even Mozart was known to have had a quill and some paper around him at all times.

Similarly, you should consider a capturing device for your musical inspirations. I personally use Moleskines for note-taking and as an agenda, but they have a product just right for musicians, the Music Moleskine.

I love them for their beautiful looks, the rubber band, and the silky pages make a grand setting fit for the wonderful music you’re about to create.

Of course, it only makes sense if you can read music. Otherwise, you could try an audio device like a dictaphone to record your tunes by humming them. The downside of this is it’s a bit awkward to do in public.

How do you write down your songs? Full score notation, chord names or tabs? Or do you have your own system?
