Mastering MuseScore - Complete Online Course
This course was originally launched in 2018 and covered MuseScore 2, then was expanded to include MuseScore 3 shortly thereafter. With the release of MuseScore 4 back in 2022, an updated version Mastering MuseScore 4 was produced and is available on my Outside Shore Music site.
At this point, the original version of this course has become too expensive to maintain in its full form. So I am keeping the materials themselves accessible, but without the progress-tracking facility. Anyone who purchases the original version of the course should have already received information on how to upgrade to the current course, but if you missed that, just email me at marc@outsideshore.com for details.
