Notation software like Sibelius and Finale give instant feedback of musical content and sound as well as direct access to orchestration. The visual and auditory aspects of writing music or exercises with a software program also enhances understanding of musical notation and symbols. Musicians who are not pianists may very well benefit from this alternative interface to music and new technology should not be overlooked or underestimated in education. <div><br></div><div>Carson Farley</div><div>Composer/cellist/theorist</div></div></body></html>
