Noteflight - "Bicycle Built for Two"

Although at times annoying and confusing, "Noteflight" is a great notation program for being free and always available on the internet. Providing you are working with a fast server and a computer with adequate RAM, this program is a very useful tool for music education. Music educators can teach from the program, encourage their students to experiment with composition, arranging, and learning about the basics of music notation - all for free! The program was fairly intuitive, but slow response and a limited capacity to perform basic functions easily was often frustrating.

  1. I'm glad you recognize the value of Noteflight in a music education classroom context. Perhaps some of your frustrations will dissipate after using this program a bit more. You have mentioned your previous experience with composition in Finale, so it doesn't surprise me that you find this program to be somewhat limited.
