Free Music Software
A Belgian company, Arpege Music, is offering free downloads of their music software on the internet. The programme is called Pizzicato Light 3, and claims to provide the following features to users:
- Writing music theory exercises or didactic scores,
- Listening to the score and playing or singing with it so as to learn the rhythm and melody,
- Making musical dictation exercises,
- Learning and reviewing music theory,
- Creating little personal compositions, etc.
It sounds like a similar programme to Sibelius but with emphasis on the educational aspects of notation manipulation. I've got to admit that I haven't tried it yet but you can be sure that once I've had a tinker there'll be a review appearing on here. In the meantime, you can download a copy yourself to try it out. I have 30 promotional codes to give to my associates so anyone enquiring about music services with FinishMySong is welcome to one of these free of charge. It should allow you to download and run the full programme on either AppleMac or IBM compatible PC's.
Drop me a line if you're interested or have any more info on this.
