Noteflight Composition

     I had a lot of fun playing with Noteflight today! I found it to be pretty user friendly, in general.  Any question I had were easily answered by the user guide and tutorials.  I love the fact that it is completely web-based, so I have the ability to save, embed, and share the compositions.  I also have access to other friends who are sharing their scores.  I think this would be a great tool in the classroom to have students complete compositions and turn them in online.  It would also be great to have classes work on a composition together and collaborate via the website through the view/edit features.  I will admit, this is totally new territory for me because I have never used internet-based composition software before.  However, because it is accessible from any computer with an internet connection, I don't have to have a fancy music lab at my school to make use of this software.  Very cool!  The only glitch I seemed to have was that it would not let me transcribe any vocal parts without upgrading to the premium version.  I don't mind paying the $7.95 for myself, but I'm not sure how that would work itself out with my students. The teacher packages were a little pricey, but if I can make a good case for it, my supervisor might be willing to purchase this for use as part of the curriculum.  Here is the link to the score I transcribed using the website: A Bicycle Built for Two.  You can also take a listen below.  Enjoy!
