Using CuBase

Higher

 

Nearly all secondary and visiting teaches of Music rhaqve completed their NOF training and CuBase is the standard software package in Fife secondary schools.

Why was this work undertaken?

Part of the Higher Music course is Inventing. In this respect the Cubase authoring package offers many advantages, not least the professional way in which the work is presented.

 

How was it developed?

The computer is linked by a MIDI interface to an electronic keyboard so, right from the start, pupils are "laying tracks", ie playing in tunes and adding different harmony lines such as piano, flute, bass guitar etc.

Another advantage this software offers is that pupils do not need to be able to write music, only to be able to play. Up until recently, only the keyboard could be used but now other instruments such as electric guitars can be used to feed directly into the computer to lay what is known as Audio tracks.
This is a most valuable resources to any Music department and I'm sure the results speak for themselves.
