ASMAC continues the First Wednesday’s tradition with The Art Of Music Preparation Act II on March 2, this time in the Local 47 Serena Kay & Earl Williams Auditorium.
Join us for a special and informative event with a panel of expert music copyists who will discuss how to make the most out of a musician’s performance by providing the best possible manuscript.
Thoughtful music preparation saves time and money at recording sessions and rehearsals. Topics will include important tips for orchestration, notation rules, computer notation, part layout, binding, preparing midi for orchestration, proofreading, various careers in music preparation, budgets, and much more. Refine your skills as an orchestrator, composer and music copyist by attending this exciting event. We will have a Q&A between attendees and panelists. Technical questions about Finale and Sibelius will be included.
There is sure to be lots of audience interaction. Bring your questions and wisdom to share. RSVP here.
