Looking for a software to create your own scores? Of course there are the top notation software brands like Sibelius and Finale, but if you're looking for a perfectly good software to create scores for yourself or your students that's free, look no further than Noteflight.

Founding board members Anjli Mata (President), Ritesh Khokhar (Vice-President) will join Natalie Sarrazin (Executive Director) to attend NAfME's Advocacy Summit in Washington DC. The one week conference is designed to expose participants to the process of advocating for music education, from learning about grass-roots advocacy to state-level to advocacy on a National scale.
