Finale 2009 First Impressions and Review
- Details
When I received my copy of Finale 2009 last week I was anxious to get started on doing an in depth review of it. Now that I have had few days to kick it around I am confident I can give you preliminary review of the newest music notation software product from MakeMusic. One that is not without its ups and downs.
Finale 2009 Released
- Details
I am a big fan of both Sibelius and Finale and have done reviews on
them here at MusicEdMagic in the past. I recently received word that
the newest version of Finale, Finale 2009 , is being released tomorrow, July 17th, 2008. According to the press
releases there are some nice sounding improvements to MakeMusic's
flagship music notation software package, namely things like easier
entry of expressions by simply dragging and dropping them into the
score,several different playback enhancements to the sound library, and
my personal favorite, easier creation of SmartMusic accompaniment files from ensemble scores!

Music Quality of MP3 Recordings Can Have Negative Effect On Emotional Impact
- Details
.jpg "Stereo Plugs")
Those that say that MP3 recordings of music have no soul may be more correct than they realize. One of the things that makes music memorable is the emotional impact that it can have on a human being. It turns out that compressing audio into MP3 format can actually strip out the pieces of the musical recording that help to initiate that emotional reaction in our brains turning a feast for the senses into little more than a metophorical hamburger and fries.

Virtual Classrooms Train Teachers About Discipline
- Details
Imagine a preparatory teacher classroom where a beginning teacher
could actively learn how to deal with classroom discipline problems
without the risk of "damaging" a student's academic or emotional
abilities. Every teacher has made a mistake in the classroom where
they say something they shouldn't have by responding to a student
sarcastically or by losing their self control and yelling. The problem
for beginning teachers is that until now there has been no real way to
practice such classroom management techniques without putting
themselves directly into a classroom. Now, thanks to a research
project between Lockheed Martin and the University of Central Florida
teachers may one day be able to learn how to deal with classroom
discipline problems without ever coming within earshot of a real
student.
