Tom Johnson in Brisbane, Australia (note the warm-up band’s gear behind him)
About a year and half ago, I embarked on a whirlwind tour of Australia with Nick Middleton, sales manager of Intelliware (Finale’s Australian distributor), and Ray Partridge, product specialist for Roland Australia.
Last week I described how easy it has become to change percussion sounds with Finale 2010b. In addition to switching sounds, the same process can also be used to correct percussion playback problems in older Finale documents.
When I first began using Finale my focus was strictly on the printed page, not on playback.
Two weeks ago I was at the Texas Music Educators Association convention, where I met lots of passionate, dedicated music teachers.
In the first and second parts of this percussion blog I highlighted some of the features added in Finale 2010 that greatly simplify percussion notation.
Shortcuts increase your efficiency and speed, and make things easier on your hands, but only if you can remember them.
