Bicycle Built for Two

Noteflight Assignment

In my opinion the Noteflight program was not as easy to use as MuseScore. However, I believe it to be a notable free website to use to create and share compositions.  I was most drawn to the countless compositions that became available to me after I created a username.  That was the feature of Noteflight that I benefitted from the most.

I was surprised at the print feature.  There were some options I would have liked to try out, except they were only available to people who purchased the program. Adding notes wasn't difficult, but the three voice chord part took a longer amount of time to accomplish without being able to access other voices.  Adding lyrics and chord names was a cinch.  All in all, a great free program.

I think some of my students would benefit from this program just because it is free and easy to navigate.  Some of my piano students would enjoy looking through other compositions on the website to play through.  Also, I could see a group of students having fun with arranging and composing together, much like our "Pieces of Eight" selection!
