I bought this as a college textbook and couldn't survive the class without it. It's very easy to understand, and Finale is by far the most user-friendly and versatle music notation program...I just wish it weren't so expensive.
Purse Brilliantly presents Finale as an easy to master art.

Bill Purse brilliantly presents Finale as an easy to master art-form. As a teacher of music technology, The Finale Primer presents an "easy-to-understand" guide to the most powerful notation software ever produced. I use it in all of my classes.
