MUSIC NOTATION PROGRAMS

​
Music notation software. I use this (have done since I was a teenager). Unfortunately it is now on a monthly subscription after it was bought by AVID, though AVID (parent company) is providing access to their software at no charge to educational institutions during the Covid-19 shutdown for those working remotely.
​
Unforunately I don't know much about Finale as I haven't ever used it. Musicians tend to use either Sibelius or Finale, depending on what they were introduced to first as a child.
​
I don't know much about musescore, other than that it is an open source, free, music software notation program. With absolutely no knowledge, I would have to imagine it is fairly limited in its capabilities.

MUSIC CREATION PROGRAMS

​
Available for free on any apple, iOS product. Has the ability to record, edit, and create digital media using their soundbank of apple loops and instruments.
​
The professional version of Garageband. Like with Sibelius/Finale, musicians tend to learn how to use either Logic or Protools. I like to use Logic for creation, and Protools for editing live audio.
​
Operated by parent company AVID. See note above under Sibelius.
​
Digital audio software sequencer.
