The current VMTA NoteflightLearn site includes Content libraries for various Ensembles, Teaching Collections for Composition, Solos, Sight-Reading, Pop, Chorales, Piano, and Guitar, as well as the “Essential Elements” collections for Band and Orchestra. There is access to thousands of digital scores of the most popular repertoire from today’s publishers of teaching material.
Students can choose to participate in Online Mentoring, working with professional composers to improve their compositions. This fee-based feature can include performance opportunities.
As part of your VMTA membership, you and your enrolled students have access to the program from home, school, your studio, the public library – anywhere and anytime. As a registered user, the version of Noteflight you receive is their “premium” editor, a $49 yearly subscription value if purchased individually. You and your students can complete lesson templates or create unlimited, brand-new compositions. You can edit, playback, print, share, record, and export as audio or other file formats.
