Sound of Music!

Aside from technology, music is something that I'm very passionate about.  Just ask anyone who knows me.  They'll affirm that! In the past month or so I've been working on composing a song. The lyrics and poetic/musical structure came easily. Setting it all to music is taking a little longer.

This phase of the composition process is being made easier with the aid of two free music/notation/composition programs.

The first is called Crescendo Music Notation Editor.  It's actually suite of applications that happens to include the ability to digitally compose musical scores.

The second application is called MuseScore. It's equally as impressive, considering the price!

If you (or your students) want to experience some real-world, higher-level activities, then try composing your own song, or taking musical dictation using these two FREE powerful tools.  I believe you'll be impressed.
