One of my most popular concert band compositions is TERRACOTTA WARRIORS (Alfred, Grade 2). Part of the appeal of the music is the premise that the famous Qin dynasty "Terracotta Army" of Qin Chi Huang (the first emperor of China) somehow COMES TO LIFE (!) and marches up out of their graves. In the video short (approx. 6 mins.), the music comes to life! This "trailer" gives you a sneak peak at T...

The music mirror’s Roethke’s nocturnal imagery and introspective tone, and the me...

Thanks! I've been using Finale for many years and I never bothered with some of these useful features.
The sound wasn’t clear
Great video! Thank you Dr Watson
Very Good!
Thank you !
この少年の演技は素晴らしい!
Thank You!
My left ear is jealous of this
Hello Dr. Watson! I watched several of your videos and they are all SO HELPFUL! I love the efficiency tips, they're gold! I have a question about lyrics, on one section of my song I want to say 'we understand each other', the correct way to separate the syllables would be 'we un-der-stand each oth-er' but when I sing it I say, 'Weun-ders-tand each oth-er' in 6 eight-notes. If I were to add an extra eight-note so I can say 'we un-der-stand each oth-er' it doesn't flow the same, I think it doesn't sound as cool... I was trying to type 'we un' under the same note but it scoots it to the next note. Is there any way I could put this on the score without having to makeup a new word (weun)? For now I wrote it, We'un-ders-tand each oth-er, which is not a contraction either but at least it separates the words. I fell like if someone looks at this Lead Sheet and hasn't heard the song before will think it's a mistake. Thank you so much!!!
To prevent Finale from advancing to the next note, type Option-Space (instead of just Space). Good luck!
In England, smiling and with enormous gratitude, we call someone like you "a clever bastard."
I’ll take it 😁!
Wow this was so helpful! Thank you so much :) Gratefully, Ely Guest
So pleased this was helpful, Ely!
Thank you for the tips, they are very helpful
Happy to help!
My cycles let the takes merge and I didn't know why. Now I know that this is a setting being set in Garageband settings instead of in the tracks themselves! Thank you!
Thanks! Very interesting and useful.
Thank you; this was really helpful
Please, What are the configurations (cpu, gpu, vga...) for your laptop?
Hi would you know how to drag around that video for example if you want to have sound before the video starts ?
Unfortunately, the only option is to have the video start immediately.
I love your explanation
And in MIDI Setup, what if there are no instruments listed at all, and you cannot enter or populate any field at all? I'm actually trying out the trial and i'm using the mouse to select notes for now, but i get no audio. It's really frustrating and i might have to throw in the towel if this is gonna take countless hours i could just be writing it out old school
If you choose a Software Track (MIDI Option), you must select a software instrument. MIDI recording is easiest with a controller keyboard. But if you have to click notes in, you need a MIDI Region in which to add notes. You can create a MIDI Region by recording anything (or importing MIDI file). Then delete the notes in the Edit window, and click in the notes you want.
As a Philly-boy, I can detect your regional accent. Often do I wish we had influences like yourself back 60 years ago. I started working on my music career too late, but still fun and I hope I can help younger folks. Best to you!
You have a good ear!
I have been trying this, but every time I attempt to insert a new signature, it automatically changes it for the whole song. What do I do?
Is it possible to transfer a finale score to a more realistic sound library? Can you explain how? Thank you a lot
Superb tutorial. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I have been battling to understand this and you made it so clear! ❤
thank you soooooooooooo much!!
Hey, thank you for your great informations I have a question about applying for music.. I'm in Tehran music school and I am 16 and we are learning solfege , harmony, piano , music theory plus my instrument that is violin I want to go in Deutschland to study music and actually I want to be a soloist seriously In our school we have an orchestra and a string ensemble and I am learning deutsch and I am A.1😬😬😬 anyway in you opinion how can I study music in Deutschland from the country like Iran?
Please how do I add this symbol to finale (ŋ ɔ)
This is not the problem. It's percussion playback. It's an absolute nightmare. It was supposed to have been fixed in version 27.
Thank you for this. 🙏 Perfect timing. I added lyrics to a piece for the first time recently. Seems like a whole new world, even though I’ve been reading lyrics since the beginning.
You got this!
Greetings great video but how do you actually make a chord sheet either chords already entered ? Does finale automatically know how to generate that chord sheet?
For ALL of that, and more, you need to watch my several other (prior) video tutorials on creating lead sheets.
Thank you!
On my country no have music classes at school or high school the things are more hardest
If I never hear happy again it will be too soon
I hear you, but my did it have a good run!
Thks!!🙏👏👏
Would love to see a tour. This wasn't it.
Yikes…sorry to disappoint! Wasn’t trying to deceive; just thought my little walk-thru was kind of a tour.
There isn't such a thing as a Clarinet in C? Ok. Welcome to the world of, except for Bb, G, A, Bnatural and C clarinets. Same for saxophones as the C melody.
I don’t know of a modern-day Clarinet in C. I have heard of the “C melody sax,” but even those are rare.

On quarter note triples, the beam sometimes is too close to the note head (stems down). How can I adjust it up? I'm using the regular entry, not speedy.
Maybe you could redo this one with a more recent version of GarageBand? But luckily, so far the commands are all the same. You might get more views though, because people might click off thinking it's the wrong version/program. Thanks for the tips, all the best
Oh you ADORABLE, smiley man! Thank you so much. I watched a few videos but couldn't do it. Thanks to you, two ten-year-old boys can now watch my luv-er-ly iMac whilst I do long division on Procreate for them!
