Music preparation tech, travails, tools, and tips

We have a special treat for podcast listeners. If you’ve listened to our podcast before, you’ll remember our interview with music education technology expert Katie Wardrobe. Well, Katie also interviewed Philip Rothman for her show called the Music Tech Teacher Podcast, and we’re including a version of that interview in the Scoring Notes feed. In our discussion, Philip talks with Katie about his work as a music preparer and opines on the state of the industry, including everything from desktop applications to tablet apps, the improvements in playback tools such as NotePerformer, and what it all means for teachers, students, and anyone using this technology. Thanks to Katie and Midnight Music for permission to include this special conversation here.
