<!--Sjowaazheñ music was traditionally improvised, memorized and passed down by oral tradition; they were seldom, if ever, written down. What we know of historical Sjowaazheñ music comes from music treatises and other writings about music.
Much of Sjowaazheñ music was traditionally improvised. Sjowaazheñ notation works a little like unheightened neumes: it marks rhythm and rough melodic contours. The ''hañbaac'' to be used is also indicated. Much is left to the discretion of the performer, however.

In modern times, modern Talman staff notation (assuming a 58edo or 87edo framework) may be used, although this is often deemed less than satisfactory for Sjowaazheñ music.
