The Ultimate Tool for the Music Teacher by Dr. Tom Rudolph Technology brings a wide variety of applications to the music classroom. One of the most powerful technology tools is notation software.
Notation software is designed with the primary goal of printing out scores and parts.
I have found that notation software is an invaluable teaching and compositional tool. Specific recommendations of notation software for Macintosh and PC's can be found throughout this catalog. Some of the most popular notation programs include Finale, Encore, Music Time, Overture, and others. Before selecting the program, be sure to have an idea of how you are going to use it in your teaching. The most obvious reasons for using a notation program is to save time and produce more readable pieces of music.
