Amateur Composers Lend Me Your Ears
If you consider yourself an amateur musician or composer you might want to dabble a bit with the Noteflight music notation editor, and online music editor that lets you write and print music notation without having to install any expensive software like Finale or Sibelius. I’ve played around with Noteflight on several occasions and I really do like the interface. It is fairly easy to write music using this online service and the price couldn’t be better (free).
One of the things they are trying to do to draw more attention to the site is offering a $500 prize to the composer who submits the best arrangement of good old Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. So go online and take a look at Noteflight and try your hand at arranging Mozart’s classic in your own uniqe way.
