| C instruments | An instrument whose sounding pitch is the same as the notated pitch. Common C instruments include the piano, flute, oboe, bassoon, trombone, tuba, harp, and most of the string family. |
| concert pitch | The sounding pitch of an instrument. For transposing instruments, this differs from notated pitch. |

| orchestration | Music set or composed for a large ensemble. |
| short score | A score that shows several parts combined on each staff. |
| tendency tone | A chord member or scale degree whose dissonant relation to the surrounding tones requires a particular resolution in common practice style (i.e., chordal sevenths resolve down, and leading tones resolve up). |
| transposed score | A score that shows the pitches as notated in the performers' parts (which may be transposed for certain instruments), rather than the sounding pitches. |
