Musescore & Roland A49 Keyboard - Just My Case.

• Dec 12, 2013 - 10:07

Hello All,

It's my first post, have been using Musecore almost a year, very easy to use,
comprehensive software.

A little background about myself. I am a part-time violin teacher in my place,
mainly provide very low cost one on one violin lesson to children aged 4 - 12,
the district where I'm living relatively low-income families. Some kids are very talent,
learning fast, my paid off is listening what they play from their heart, nothing about money.

The real fact, no budget to hire any piano accompanist to play along with,
so Musescore helps alot. I spent uncountable hours to input the piano part,
make pieces human like more than 00011001110011, retard, p, f, >, < etc
export to MP3 format, and let students play with virtual accompanist while lesson
and public performance.

I use pc-keyboard to input every single note past year, I bought a Roland A-49
midi controller few days ago and started to work with Musescore.

Everything works fine, almost plug & play,
midi-router software installed, and let chords input at once.

In this case, seem that I am learning piano also, hope that I could play real piano like musescore plays.

Nice post...
Years ago, before PC's were as popular as they are nowadays, I was a part-time fretted, stringed instrument instructor. I can relate to the payoff of listening to 'what they play from their heart'. Also, the times when a student has that - 'oh, I get it' moment; or another good one - 'it feels good playing music'.

I can only imagine the satisfaction and pride that the developers of MuseScore (Werner et al) must feel.

Please post again as to how you find midi note entry as compared to pc-keyboard entry, and what kind of music you are scoring using midi entry (violin?).

Regards.
