SEEKING FUTURE 
COMPOSERS and ARRANGERS!

For all students who may wish to experiment with writing their own music,
or writing out something to play or sing,
NOTEFLIGHT is a free (for the basic version) notation software
that can create a very professional looking music score.
You can edit and arrange it to look like 'real' music,
and then save, print, or share your music.

Sound interesting?
Maybe part of your passion project?
