Virginia Tech's Amazing Online Music Dictionary

During our time as musicians we are bound to come across a word that we are either unfamiliar with or that we are unsure of how to pronounce. Thanks to Virginia Tech's Multimedia Music Dictionary we can solve both of these problems. The online dictionary is free, simple to use, and contains almost any musical marking one will see. I am yet to find a marking that isn't in the online dictionary. It is extra helpful because the audio examples for each entry provide a spot on pronunciation to use.

I have used that dictionary for looking up terms for my conducting class. Very awesome dictionary, and even a pronunciation audio file for each word.

As your screen-name so aptly states "Curious Clarinetist", you have found and posted a most needed source of info about musical terms and the proper pronunciation, amazing!
I love it and will share the site with my students and colleagues, so thanks.

I have a bookmark to their link handy.

It is, however, not the be-all, end-all in that I frequently got there with a term that is not in their collection.

Keep after it, VaTech!

And thank you.
