MuseScore Reflection

I really enjoyed learning the software of MuseScore. I look forward to use it on future lessons in my teaching. I have always desired to know how to use notation software. Other software that I was aware of was only provided for a cost. So when I came across this free download I was very excited. At first the software was quite tricky to use. On the online website it does provide a manual for this program. That was very helpful in teaching myself how to use it. I also found a few video tutorials on youtube.com that helped in the learning of MuseScore. The person who created those tutorials is continuing to produce additional learning videos. So I will definitely keep checking back for more videos.
I found it fairly easy to create my instructions to start using MuseScore. From the beginning I tried to make my instructions very clear and as detailed as I could. From the peer reviews in class I received a couple suggestions that I later added to my instructions. They were minor wording additions that will eliminate any confusion. I also had my husband, who is not very musical, follow my instructions to create and use the program. He found the instructions to be very clear and in my opinion he rather enjoyed composing his own piece of music and hearing it played back to him.
So in conclusion I feel that I successfully created and completed this assignment with flying colors, and I am excited to share these instructions with others!
