MuseScore 4 Now Available!


Now that MuseScore 4 is available, what does that mean for MuseScore 3? Well, it's not going to stop working, and this course remains available. But most users will be much better off updating to MuseScore 4 for the improved playback, engraving, and user interface.

Luckily, I've got you covered with my new Mastering MuseScore 4 course!


Meanwhile, if you are still interested in my former MuseScore 3 course, you can still enroll in that if you like, and you'll even receive a huge discount on the MuseScore 4 course when you're ready.

Here is the relevant information:

My name is Marc Sabatella, and I am one of the developers and chief ambassadors for MuseScore, the world's most popular music notation program.

Whether you are brand new to MuseScore and looking for someone to help you get started, or whether you have been using it a while and are wanting to learn the pro tips to move beyond the basics and take control of your music, this course is for you!

This self-paced course starts with a simple demonstration to jump start your experience, and continues with dozens of lessons covering each and every feature of the program. Along the way I show you everything step by step - how to enter your music and get it looking and sounding just the way you want. And I show you all the shortcuts to get things done most efficiently.

I have been teaching music online since the dawn of the World Wide Web, and I have been teaching in person for even longer. From the publication of my groundbreaking Jazz Improvisation Primer back in the 1990’s, to my years on the faculty at major music schools, and culminating in this Mastering MuseScore School and Community, I have dedicated most of my life to helping as many musicians as I can.
