NoteFlight

         Overall I found Noteflight to be a bit tedious as compared to other music notation software. It is unfortunate that the extended version has to be purchased to use the midi keyboard for entering notes, whereas with Muse Score, the midi keyboard can be used with the free downloadable version. Using the mouse or numbers on the computer keyboard can take a lot longer than using a midi keyboard. However, with that being said, I could definitely see the benefits for a program like this in an middle or high school general music or music technology classroom. Unlike Muse score, Finale, or Sibelius, this program could be viewed live as it was happening. As a teacher, it could be useful in actively helping students with composition projects while they are away from school. They could submit assignments through this website, rather than emailing them or only being able to submit them during class time. I personally don't necessarily see the benefit of this website for my own classes in an elementary instrumental band program where the students are beginners learning to play instruments for the first time. This type of technology may be above the academic level of most of my students. However, I do occasionally write short parts or transpose parts for my students using Muse Score.  If I am trying to work on composing something for my students to perform, this may be useful for me to work on from anywhere. I would not have to worry about brining my computer with me, but rather I could work on projects from any device with access to the Internet. Overall it is an interesting concept that I could easily see potential for. I would love to see if anyone is able to successfully integrate this into their music programs.
