Part Thirteen

Have you heard about...

Every once in a while, I come across an interesting idea in the world of music. Sometimes the idea is so surprising or compelling that I have to share the idea with other musicians.

Have you heard about a software program called Notion?

Notion gives you a blank piece of music staff paper on your computer screen... then when you write notes on it... it plays your score using sounds recorded by the London Symphony!

Would you like to see an example? I entered these notes, and added the accents. When I hit play, this is how it sounds.

(Click on the flash player or download Violins.mp3 )

So I built a new web site to show how much fun you can have writing music for "your own orchestra." I thought many musicians, songwriters, teachers, and students would enjoy this product, but I didn't think too many people knew about it yet. So I decided to help spread the news.

If you would like to visit the site I described, here's the link. Especially stop in on page three... the one called "Songs"... it's surprising what you can do with a blank piece of staff paper and your own Notion orchestra.
