Multimedia inventory
Here’s the list containing a full inventory of all the multimedia that will be used in my orchestration course.
Multimedia inventory: MEL 392
NOTES:
*Unless otherwise noted, all material is instructor-created, free of copyright restrictions, and free of charge. Musical examples will be loaded as Sibelius files (software: Sibelius, hardware: instructor’s computer, file extension .sib). Sibelius is the music industry standard composition software, and all students in the course will have access to it. Sibelius files do two things: show a visual of the score and play back the score.
