Fun Fact
Before musical notation, music was passed down by memory! Around the 9th century, monks created neumes—squiggly symbols above lyrics—to guide melodies. Guido of Arezzo later added the staff and pitch names. His system was so effective, it’s still the basis for how we read and write music today!
