Sheet music conveys how a song or other musical composition is played. The music is written using musical notation, a language where symbols represent tones and rhythms. Sheet music is a way for one musician to play the music of another and also a way to preserve music so it is not forgotten. Many musicians use sheet music as an aid to learning how to play their instrument. By learning the music of others, they get a feel for how songs are put together.
