Teach it to Learn it
I have just completed a five-week course in Sibelius 7. I have learned an amazing amount about the program in those weeks, and I have a new-found appreciation for everything that can be achieved with this outstanding piece of software.

Get Your Head In The Clouds!
Cloud computing still seems to be a mysterious word in education – specifically music education. I’m not sure why. All cloud computing means is that instead of the old-fashioned method of purchasing software in a box and installing it on your personal computer, the software instead lives online and you access it and utilize it [...]

MuseScore, A Free Open-Souce Music Composition And Notation Program
I’ve been an active proponent of Finale Notepad since its inception and “birth” into the computer world. I was very disappointed by Finale’s self-reported “exciting news” about the product and their subsequent charge of $9.95-$19.95 US for their latest version of Finale Notepad 2009.
