After working with Noteflight for about an hour, I feel as though I've got a pretty good handle on the inner workings of the program. Noteflight is a lightweight music notation software that runs in the browser (and therefore can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection). My time using Noteflight yielded this transcription.
As an applied to music education, I think that this program is fantastic. It is accessible from virtually anywhere, has a save feature, and perhaps best of all, is free. In addition, I found Noteflight to be extremely quick to use and quite user-friendly. After I figured out the keyboard shortcuts and general entry syntax, I was able to enter music in a three-stave setting at a rate of about three measures per minute. I can see myself or other music educators using this software for everyday music notation, as a topic in a technology class for students, or even as a means to facilitate student compositions; students could be assigned scores to transcribe/arrange or have the ability to neatly notate their own compositional ideas.
