Musical Engraving

While teaching at our university, I offered music writing manuscript as an elective and enjoyed working with our students in placing musical notation on staff paper which was at that time the only way to get the job done. With the advent of computer software we can now complete the same amount of work in record time with a much more profession product at the completion.

I hope you will enjoy watching a master of the art of musical engraving and appreciate even more what our predecessors were faced with in “the good old days”.
