Bicycle Built for Two reflection, part 2

I feel that Noteflight could be an extremely useful tool for music educators. I found myself naming chords as I was notating them. When I felt fairly comfortable with the software, I thought about the quarters in the left hand of the piano part differently than I would have had I notated the music by hand. One reason for this is that I did not have to worry about the direction of stems or the formation of the notes themselves. The software was doing that part of it for me, so I was free to think about the notes within the chords. The most useful part of the software for me was that I was able to check the accuracy of my notation by listening to the chords go by in the context of the music rather than struggling with piano technique. If I had printed the music, it would have also been easier than notating the music by hand. This is because the printed version of the music would have been much easier to read than the hand notated version I would have created by myself without the help of a computer. For a student who is learning about chordal progressions, Noteflight simplifies the creation of a piece by eliminating the human variable of unclear notation. It is also useful (and faster) for developing a feel for writing chordal progressions.
