About Greenotation
Developed by Doris Green,
Greenotation is an innovative musical system for notating the percussion instruments of African ensembles. This system is the only system that aligns the corresponding dance movements in a single integrated score, as such, the music and dance of African countries can be transferred from oral traditions in to written documents. With this system, the music and dances of Africa can be written and reproduced from a print source.
