MuseScore: Mastering Music Notation Free Software

Master Music Notation Software
Write your awesome label here.
What you are going to learn

MuseScore is a music notation program that is powerful, open source, completely free.

In this course I'll show you all of the ins-and-outs of using MuseScore for your own projects. I'll show you some of my own workflow techniques, as well as how other people do things. This is a fantastic program for learning to write music in any style, or just to help you learn the basics of music notation.

I've been working with MuseScore for a number of years now. I've worked with major American orchestras, film studios, and video game designers, so I've got more than a little experience in professional music notation. I'm also a PhD in music composition and a university professor (of music composition). 
Note: there is a newer version of this course available here.

Recently I was named as a semi-finalist for the Grammy Foundation's Music Educator of the Year award because of my in-person university classes. Now I'm taking those classes to Udemy in an online format in order to reach more students, and give them the joy of Music Theory.

This class is now featured on the MuseScore official website!

Course reviews

Excellent course! Jason teaches so well. He breaks down everything you need to know exactly how you need it. I learned everything I needed to know to have a solid grasp on Musescore. I finished this course in less than a day and a half. Every easy to understand and gets straight to the point!

Jason Allen's presentation on MuseScore allowed me to get going with this software in a very short time. I completed the course after 3 or 4 shorter sessions and feel reasonably comfortable that I will be able to transcribe my parts to songs I am learning on bass guitar and not waste time trying to figure basics out on my own.
