celticdragonflyBrendan has composed his first piece of music.
He'd been trying to write out music staves himself, and gets confused as to how many lines. I'd told him five each. He brought the page to me and asked me to draw the lines. I did, and put the treble and bass clefs by them. I got the bass clef backwards, I do that sometimes, he corrected it We didn't put a key in or a time signature, he doesn't know that stuff yet. Off he went with it. Rikki from school drew a picture for him that was in his backpack, almost a valentine's type of thing, and I'd suggested he draw a picture for her in return, and he said he wanted to write her a song. Well, he did. I looked at it later. Okay, he doesn't know from measures yet. I just plugged the thing into Finale NotePad, making my best guess as to what notes went in what measure. Comes out 5 measures long. Okay, the kid's not Mozart, but actually, it's not bad.
I think I'm going to kidnap this piece of music and at LEAST get it photocopied before I let him give it to anybody. Maybe scanned, if I can get access to a scanner. And does anybody know how to turn a Finale file (.mus) into a wav file or something like that, that I could post online?
