Final "Finale"
Today was the last day of the notation software "Finale" graduate class in Milton, MA. I learned a lot of great ways to use this very powerful program. It is a program where you can notate music and create accompaniments, arrangements, send to SmartMusic to incorporate with the accompaniment and assessment benefits and in general use a ton of tools in creating music! It even has a way to use "Band In A Box" (another software program for music which will allow you to take a melody and create custom accompaniments or arrangements in many different styles) and then print out that music or save and send the digital file. I created worksheets, rhythm exercises, scales and an arrangement of "The Hanukah Song". I learned how to input notes using the mouse, keyboard shortcuts and a synthesizer keyboard.
