| Well, this is an interesting topic "To do the work, you have to understand, for instance, the ranges of instruments you compose for, as well as the difficulties imposed by the mechanics of the instrument." True, but knowing the range is "trivial". Knowing the difficulties is much more relevant in the case of an educational program as you mention. For example, playing C and the C one octave above on a piano is trivial, on a recorder, it's on a distinct educational level. Sure, you can complain about print designers doing web design and I would agree, but one thing is knowing the limitations and quirks of the medium, another is knowing how to use it (sure, one comes with the other, but it's not "mandatory" that they learn that way) " self-taught singer-songwriters whose only instrument is guitar and who can play barely enough keyboard to input a score into finale are often confirmed." Yeah, I don't trust guitar players ;) And I didn't know Finale was still popular. |
