Noteflight Review

I must say, I was very impressed with the Noteflight application. Initially, as I began to work with the website I became quite frustrated. Even after viewing the tutorials, the process of inputting information was certainly not as easy as using MuseScores. The program also lagged a bit, largely due to of cloud based website design. This issued caused me to backtrack and fix countless mistakes because of the glitching.  However, as I continued to work through the example, the application became much more user friendly. I was also able to apply some of the shortcut methods learned in the MuseScore tutorials. There is a slight learning curve there but it does not take much time to navigate through the site. Noteflight would be a great tool to implement in the music classroom. It could especially come in handy when creating those lesson plans on Improvising and Composing. I would like to explore Noteflight Learn. Here, students can collaborate with other students in their class, share projects through social media, work on independent exercised to strengthen musicianship, and participate in discussion boards;  all while the teacher can assess progress by viewing the students account and offer feedback.  This is definitely a tool I can use in my classroom in the near future.
