Finale 2010

Finale is a state-of-the-art notation software program that allows users to print publishable quality scores and parts of their compositions and arrangements. It includes a powerful set of tools to help with most stages of composition and arranging including high-quality audio realizations of your work using the included sound libraries, as well as your VST/AU instruments and effects. This in-depth course by experienced composer Brandon Vaccaro begins with basic foundation including music entry, page layout, printing and then moved on to cover more advanced concepts such as working with MIDI and audio. Along the way, students will complete a number of projects to learn the process of preparing a chamber score, a vocal music score, and even a score for a larger ensemble. Work Files are included.
