Two Saturdays, 1:30-7:30pm

August 6 & 13

Start from scratch laying out a score: enter the notes of the melody; the accompaniment; the chords; the lyrics; add the dynamics and other expressions (tempi, character names, etc.). Next: work on laying it out so that it looks pleasant to the eye. The instructor will demonstrate, and then each participant will get a chance to step up to the computer and try it out. (Pre-requisite: a rudimentary knowledge of Finale software). NOTE: this session will take place at the office of the instructor (in North Hollywood). When you register for the course you will be given the exact address.
