Software Reviews

Mozart 9 is a useful and competent music notation software program by a developer named David Weber.  The software is a fairly popular alternative to the more expensive (and fully featured) offerings from Sibelius and Finale.  Mozart is still very functional, and some users will find it easier to use than the other alternatives.

A new entry into the music notation software arena, MuseScore is an open source, free music editor that sports many nice features previously found only on commercial music notation products.

The MusicReader Solo Pro is a software based music presentation system for Windows based computers. In a similar style to the hardware based MusicPad Pro the MusicReader provides any user with a Windows machine to catalog and work with digitized sheet music files for use in a classroom or in a performance setting.

The latest addition to eMedia's line of instrumental instruction software products takes the ideas that made their previous products major hits and expanded them to provide individualized instruction on the electric guitar.  With intelligent, useful instruction, videos, graphical tools, and games, anyone young or old can learn how to play the electric guitar with this fun, easy to use software product.

There are many different online web sites that promise to teach you how to learn to play the guitar.  Few deliver on their promise, especially for younger students.  eMedia's My Guitar software however is a refreshing change to traditional learn to play an instrument software titles.  Using a combination of live demonstration videos along with fun animated characters the My Guitar software ranks highly as a product that actually makes good on its promise to both entertain and educate. 

eMedia's My Violin software builds on the successes of the company's growing My Music line of instructional software.
