Music and Computers - beyond iTunes

Composing and writing music used to be a very time consuming process and required a lot of experience, talent, and creativity.

Well, talent and creativity are still required, but state-of-the-art computers and some very clever user-friendly software products have made music composition much simpler. And with templates to get started and easy editing capabilities, perhaps you don't need quite as much talent either (but no guarantees!)

We have a kiosk in our store, our "Composer's Cottage", where we have a brand new Apple Macintosh desktop computer with leading music composition software installed. We also have an integrated MIDI keyboard that makes composing music as easy as playing it. We also provide reference books and a quick start guide if you need some additional help.

If you aren't a professional musician with lots of extra cash it may not be worth it to pay for an entire system like this yourself. But if you want to try it out on a part-time basis, we make it incredibly cost-effective (and it is loads of fun too, even for those of us not quite in the Mozart-class of composers). For a very nominal hourly fee you can let your creative side soar.

And we would love to hear your compositions, too!
