Book Reviews of Finale: An Easy Guide to Music Notation, Second Edition
Book Review: Great COURSE on FINALE!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book after being hired to score a complete musical for an arranger. I did not know FINALE at all. I decided on this book because it was from Berklee Press.... I am a Berklee grad.
This is not just a book.. it's a complete COURSE on Finale. It is structured like you are in class, so it progressively introduces you to the program. Constantly reviewing and reinforcing what you have already learned. I was up and running in no time on the program, and I am happy to report, I'm almost done scoring an ENTIRE MUSICAL!
Highly Recommended!
