I have been using Sibelius as my notational tool since the introduction of Scorch. Don't tell me you haven't heard of Scorch! Scorch is the main reason I changed from the notation program Finale (Which has some fabulous features I'll go into in another session) to Sibelius. Before you go any further you might want to download your free copy of Scorch to view sample links below.
I needed a way to provide interactive music exercises on my website and Scorch was the answer. Scorch is a free Plug-in that allows the internet user to view and interact with notational examples. This allows me to create my performance benchmarks for my band tests, reproducible scale sheets, sol-fege units, harmonica, fife & drum, and guitar lessons.
I know that other notational tools maybe more powerful but this is all I need for my students right now. When this program can't do what I need it to do for my students I'll search again or maybe some new product will catch my eye at a conference or in a magazine.
As always I look forward to your feedback and hope you'll take a look at my site www.theradiohour.net
