THIS IS THE PLACE TO FIND NOTATED MUSIC EXAMPLES.

You can view notation files located here in 3 ways.

  1. Download the free finale viewer and view and listen to selections online. (You may also be able to print a copy on your printer and download the music file to your computer.)

  2. Download files in finale format from this site to view on your computer. Use the free Finale NotePad 2003 view and play the music.
    Once downloaded Finale files will always have a ".mus"suffex.

  3. Print files or download files in PDF format to your computer using Acrobat Reader, a free program from Adobe. These files are graphics only and you will not be able to listen to them or change their transposition.

FINALE VIEWER FILES

  1. Basin Street
    This file is for students who will double on electric bass. (Are you out there Taylor and Phillip ?) More will follow. All other students should feel free to give this technology a try!

  2. For Thine Be The Glory
    Use Finale Viewer to view and play this file. With it you can change the playback speed, volume and print the music. If the original document was written for an instrument other than the one you play, you can choose a transposition for your own instrument.
    For hints on how to do this and other things see the Finale Viewer Help Page, or click on the "?" in the Finale Viewer menu bar.

FINALE FILES

You can download these files to your computer where they can be opened with Finale NotePad 2003 or another notaion program in the Finale product line. If your computer is like mine, your file will come down in text form and may look something like this. You may also get an error message that the file is too big to open. The solution is simple. Open your Finale NotePad program, select file/open and navigate to your downloaded file's name to open it. Save it as a Finale file when you are done. (remember, all finale music files end in ".mus".) Once you have downloaded and opened your file you can make transpositions for your instrument, but only by creating a new file for your instrument and copying the original file to it.
