Hello! Thanks to everyone who has completed the short community survey I posted last week! If you have not done so already, it's not too late - I'd still love your input as I plan some new offerings.
​
Meanwhile, we're still continuing our focus on SATB arrangements, and I'll again be featuring music submitted by Gold-level members this week in the Music Master Class.

Mastering MuseScore

For the ultimate guide to the world's most popular music notation software, see my online course Mastering MuseScore 4.

MuseScore Café

This week in the MuseScore Café with Marc Sabatella, we continue our third-Wednesday "score of the month" series as I enter a piece of "real" music into MuseScore and discuss whatever comes up in the process. In keeping with the theme for the month, I'll be working with SATB choral music.

Tip of the Week

MuseScore has a very useful command called "swap with clipboard" that not many people know about. In this video post, I show you how to use this facility to exchange the passages played by two different instruments.

Musicianship Skills

If you want to learn more about music - theory, composition, improvisation, and more - become a Gold level member and receive access to all of our music courses as well as exclusive benefits like my weekly Office Hours.

Music Master Class

This week in the Music Master Class with Marc Sabatella, we'll be looking at more music submitted by Gold-level members for our SATB project.

In Theory

While the root is obviously the most important note of a chord from a functional standpoint, I would make a case that the third is at least as important when it comes to actually voicing the chord. In this video post, I show how Bach goes out of his way to cover the third even in the presence of moving lines.
