Which one is "Write" by Leila Viss:


In this post I was able to find other ways to compose music instead of just using Finale, which is much more expensive.  I like how Leila explained that musicians should not always have to look at the printed scores of other composers and not express their ideas of what they feel on the inside. Leila has found two programs that would help students to become better composers and to help them compose professional scores. The first program that she introduced in her blog is MuseScore and here is the Link for a tour of the program for people who are new to the program and for those who are not musicians.  There are many reasons for why I like this program, it is free, and it helps me to mix and match different instruments to make wonderful sounds.


The second program that was introduced in her blog is Noteflight.  Noteflight is a web-based program and is not a download-able file.  With this program you can copy and share your finished compositions via email and you can embed into your website for viewers to listen to. This is the Link for this program if you want to learn more about the program and the other features that it is capable of doing.  I really like how this piano teacher is finding new and innovative ways to help composers with their musical compositions and studies.
