Over all, I was generally impressed after my first experience using Noteflight online notation software. I found this program to be extremely user-friendly and hardly needed the tutorial videos and handouts to guide me through the process of completing our assignment. I also found the program to be surprisingly feature-rich for an online application that doesn't cost a penny. In regards to music education, I think Noteflight would definitely be a useful tool, most obviously, because it is free. For middle and high school students especially, it is doubtful that expensive music notation software such as Finale or Sibelius with all of the bells and whistles are necessary when free programs exist that serve their purpose just as well, like Noteflight, that students can have access to not only from school, but from home as well. Noteflight also easily allows one to post and share scores from any computer to anyone, which would make it fairly easy for music educators view their student's work. The utilization of this program and others like it will definitely make its way into high school theory and music classes sooner rather than later.
