Create Your Own Music With Finale

Posted in Reviews, Resources by NoSongUnsung on the February 29th, 2008

Back in the day if you wanted to create quality, professional sounding music, you had to dish out hundreds, if not thousands of dollars to a studio that would make the music for you. Even creating your own sheet music was a process. However, with all the technology and computers available today, you can have your own music notation program. If you’ve always dreamed of being a songwriter, you can now create music and music CDs easily and seamlessly with music software.

Finale HomepageFinale is a company that offers several products that will suit your music notation needs:

  • Finale 2008 - provides full MIDI capabilities
  • Finale Allegro - a low-cost alternative to Finale 2008 that leaves out the detailed options
  • PrintMusic- create sheet music up to 24 staves
  • SongWriter - create and print quality sheet music
  • NotePad - free notation software where users can click notes onto staves
  • Viewer - free software that lets you view, play, transpose, and print digital sheet music

    • The Finale website has many resources and a support forum to help you with the software if you need it.

    * Ratatouille
    * Michael Clayton
    * Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
