Good day to all!
Please forgive the ebullient naivete, but it is exciting to be joining a group of people with whom I share such a deep passion!
I am just beginning to compose and to learn music theory by self-direction, and I am seeking information on the best software and keyboard to purchase in order to write sonatas, quartets and orchestral pieces (perhaps down the road on the latter!) for both playback and sheetmusic creation.
More specifically, I would like advice on what program to purchase that would allow me to play phrases and so forth on a keyboard and which would then be automatically written into sheet music form. The other feature would be to some kind of playback system after I have entered all the voices (through the keyboard) for a composition.
I'm sure these are obvious and silly questions, but I don't know where to begin.
Thanks to any and all for your help and suggestions - please feel free to email me at
aninquisition@aol.com if you prefer.
Be well!
