Guido's contributions did not only standardize note naming but also made music learning more accessible. The monk’s notation system allowed individuals to learn new pieces of music without ever needing to hear them first, breaking away from the exclusive reliance on oral transmission. This was a crucial development in the preservation and dissemination of music, paving the way for compulsory standards in musical notation and unrestricted access to various musical pieces.
Additionally, this innovation evolved into the “Guidonian Hand,” further enhancing music pedagogy through visual aids designed to facilitate easier learning.
