| REVIEWS |
"... a well organised program that should bring enjoyment & reward to pupils from a wide range of ability as well as offering teachers – quite a number of whom are not trained music teachers – an inspiring & structured resource."
Hugh John, Merlin John Online
"...encourages creativity & develops a clearer idea of notation..."
InteracTive
"Notate enables pupils to fit different parts together, whether melodic, rhythmic or textural which involves thinking creatively."
Alison Rolls, Colleton Primary School, Twyford
"Many children, including some less able & others normally unenthusiastic about music, have been asking when they can use Notate again..."
Fiona Greer, Grazeley Parochial Primary, Reading
"Notate works alongside the school’s curriculum areas & objectives at getting the children more involved with ICT..."
Erika Sebokova, Radstock Primary School, Reading
"Notate enables children to gain certain skills such as problem solving as it allows them to make their own choices."
Sheryl Henry, Raynham Primary School, Edmonton
"...pupils who are unable to play instruments well enough to compose have excelled themselves."
Rob Hamilton, Westfield Middle School, Bedford |

 Key NEW Software Features
A detailed overview of the NEW features can be found here (in PDF format)
This is a substantial development to support the non music specialist in schools and will provide a real support for the government initiative: 'EVERY PRIMARY SCHOOL TO BECOME A MUSICAL SCHOOL'.
What's new about it?
- Lyrics. Words can now easily be added to music tracks in the form of lyrics
- Multiple instrument percussion grid tracks. A new type of track is now available which is best suited to multiple percussion instruments, e.g. when creating drum kit type parts. This now uses a grid rather than traditional stave layout
- Music export. The music can be saved as a picture in JPEG format to allow export as a graphic to other programs, e.g. Microsoft PowerPoint or Word
- Multiple chords in a bar. Chords are no longer restricted to one per bar and can be placed above any note or beat in the bar.
What's great about it?
- The Notate 2 environment contains a range of easy-to-use features, designed to support musical beginners
- It provides a way for all pupils to 'try out' musical ideas without having to be able to perform them
- Users can drag and drop notes while listening to the pitches and melodic patterns being created
- Notate 2 has a range of features specifically to support use on an interactive whiteboard
- Users can explore a different range of timbres than is possible with traditional classroom instruments
- Notate 2 is supplied with photocopy friendly pupil activity sheets and over 200 example and template files.
