Department of Music Hosts Music Notation Software Workshops
The Department of Music in the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences welcomes music composition student Yoshio Yamashita as currator and teacher for a music notation software workshop series.
This weekly workshop includes demonstrations of "MuseScore," an online, free music notation software. The workshops will be held weekly from 3-4 p.m. Wednesdays via Zoom (links below) and the series is open to anyone interested in the use of music notation software.
The first session will focus on the viability of MuseScore as a free solution to using other commonly used notation softwares such as Finale or Sibelius. All are great programs, but MuseScore is more accessbile due to cost and still a powerful software solution for notation music. Yamashita will use his own compositions to explore the possiblities of this software while conducting live Q&A sessions for the audience. Come ready to ask questions and learn more about the software.
For music major specifically, but anyone interested, Yamashita will also use these sessions to demonstrate how to make play-along click tracks for practice and recitals. As we have shifted to more remote learning practices in the past year, these tracks are quite valuable for everyone teaching and learning music remotely.
Yoshio Yamashita is a composition student of Robert Mueller and a percussion student of professors Chalon Ragsdale and Fernando Valencia.
