You might notice the Finale blog has a new look today. The changes are both cosmetic (it now matches the new branding of finalemusic.com) and functional, as we’ve adopted a more streamlined blog management system. Please take a look around and let me know what you think by clicking on “Comments” below.

I’d also like to bring a great new musical resource to your attention. Grammy-nominated composer, arranger, band leader and Finale user Tim Davies has just launched a new orchestration blog at www.debreved.com.

Tim’s blog represents a great opportunity to learn real-life lessons from someone actively orchestrating, arranging and conducting in Los Angeles today. Enjoy!
