In 2019 I was able to present a breakout session with Jon Lijoi at the Modern Band Summit in Fort Collins, Colorado. Our presentation “Let’s Make it Intuitive” focused on using a music writing software such as Finale, Sibelius or Noteflight to quickly upload and edit a midi or XML file found online. This made it much more accessible to have teachers download their students favorite songs and adjust the individual parts for their specific instrumentation. Using these features significantly reduces the time it would take to transcribe all of the parts and provides a quick turnover for teachers to tailor each song/piece to their ensembles.
