                          The Dot Song is a notational system that depicts voiced chords in a way where the 
                   ‘non-music reader’ can find these fairly readily. But the Dot Song is not intended to be 
                   “read”, not as a sight reader reads a piece of music.
                          The main advantage of these Dot Songs is that they force you to look at the keyboard 
                   - on the page and down beneath you. And seeing the keyboard IS an important part of 
                   learning to play tunes without reading standard notation, seeing it for working out your 
                   own arrangements of tunes.
