This is exciting! Dr. Frankel also helped me pick out a new microphone to use with my class. Also you get the lowest price and a free gift.

Comment on Sibelius or Finale? It’s Your Turn… by Jon Ensminger

I use Sibelius. I tried Finale way back in the Windows 3.1 days - but, the interface was just weird!
Sibelius has done some great things recently. I still use Sibelius 4, but plan on upgrading to Sibelius 5 soon. The fact that they are now part of Avid is huge. The ability to use VST plug-ins is one of the best features of Sibelius 5, and is one of the main reasons I’d like to upgrade soon. I think the fact that Sibelius is part of a leading music tech company will only work in its favor for the future. The Scorch plug-in is also a nice feature that deserves wider recognition and use (it’s like the “Flash” of music notation).

Comment on The New Nano Series from Korg by jamesfrankel

Thanks for your comments David. The intended market for these controllers is the on-the-go music maker. While they can certainly be used in an educational setting (they will be quite affordable) I personally would rather have students on full-sized keyboard controllers. I intend on getting the whole set and bring them with me on my travels. All 3 will easily fit into my briefcase.

Hope this helps,
James

This looks interesting. Who is this intended for, adults or children? As an educator, I can see the obvious advantages of a small portable keyboard, but I am just curious about how else they might be beneficial.
