Reviews
Notation Software for the music classroom. Write music and create theory assignments for your students.
I have used Finale for several years, and each version keeps getting better. I used it for elementary music to create lessons and exercises. Our high school directors have also allowed students to use the program to practice music theory and composition. The ability to extract parts is my favorite feature, and it makes it extremely easy to print music for the entire ensemble. However, I wish that MIDI input allowed for instant transposition for different instruments.
