Check this out. Just incredible, and not in that good way.

I think I'm figuring out Sibelius and the photoscore thing. After attempting 6 diffrent ways to scan music into Sibelius, I have achieved some measure of success. Hey, I made a pun! My goals tonight are to arrange the Mozart for a saxophone quartet instead of a string quartet. And write up a worksheet for the Key Stage 3 classes, so they can have some homework practice. We're still on reading notes and rhythms. A lot of the kids are getting it fast, which is absolutely wonderful.

I'm also in love with Garage Band on my computer. For the musical auditions, the drama teacher needed the songs on a CD. We had a student play them on the Clavinova, and I was able to hook it into my computer and record it on Garage Band, which then sent the tracks to iTunes and I burned them onto a CD. SO easy! Not utterly perfect, but it works really well for our purposes. I've got to learn how to edit tracks on there . . . .

It's lovely and cool at the moment, as long as there's a breeze outside. This brings me joy! I'm curious to see how my mom deals with the heat and humidity when she gets here. I remember being utterly miserable the first week here because it was just SO hot- and I can't tell how much of that is me getting used to it- a lot I hope- and how much the weather is changing.
