I used Explain Everything to create the video, annotate it and narrate it. A price every music teacher should not even hesitate at.


The Notion app itself is $14.99 and the hand writing plugin is $7.99 for a grand total of about $23. I think this is about as fast as trying to use a MIDI keyboard now to enter notes. The recognition is outstandingly accurate. Watch the video if you have not seen this in action. The experience of the larger screen combined with the absolute joy of using the Pencil makes handwriting music notation something that is fun, easy, effective and amazing. Notion realized this IAP a while back but now that I have an iPadPro 12.9″ and an Apple Pencil I wanted to share with you one more reason to invest in technology! Notion and its handwriting IAP is the reason I’m writing this blog post as well as sharing my little YouTube video with you. We could music the old fashioned way but it would magically turn into digital music notation! Of course Neuratron one upped themselves and soon released PhotoScore which allowed us to take a picture of sheet music then turn THAT into digital music notation! I’ve written about this already and that post still continues to be one of the most visited posts on my blog – read it here. Then we had NotateMe and NotateMe Now arrive from Neuratron. One company promised the possibility and that app never came out. Handwriting music notation seemed like a pipe dream a few years ago. For instance, handwriting music notation! It also amazes me how many do not even know that this is possible so I made a little video for you. It always is fun to see the look on somebodies face when I show them the magical things you can do with an iPad and music.
