Most of the notation tools makes notation look and feel very complicated and eerily impenetrable. But Guitar Pro makes it seem easy and completely approachable - which is very important for those making their first steps in music composition. Guitar Pro is probably one of the most accessible notation tabbing tools out there. It is extremely easy to master and very comfortable to use as a lean mean composition tool. It is especially useful if you have limited music education and just want to lay down your ideas. From the user experience perspective - it doesn't get any better. If you know the notation basics - it will take a couple of minutes to get around Guitar Pro's interface. The way the composition process is organised is very streamlined and allows many tweaks without getting tangled. Ever since the 5th version introduced realistically sounding instrument samples, Guitar Pro also became a very interesting tool for sonic experimentation. Sure, it is very limited in comparison with a full-fledged digital workstations - but it offers an interesting experience, especially from a 6th versions which introduced sound effects.

User interface might seem dense at first and it takes some time to get used to it. From a compositional standpoint - every instrument that is not fretted string one - is limited to the guitar-based tuning. Basically it limits the composition process to laying down the basics while fleshing out will require more specific software. The notation layout itself is somewhat clumsy and got some very irritating traits. Hot keys are messy and you often get confused over which combination does what. It is not critical but might bring you some discomfort. Version 6 and 7 often crash, especially if you try too hard with the RSE.

Guitar Pro is one of the best notation tool out there. It is easy to handle and fun to play with. There are some problematic elements but it doesn't affect user experience in a critical way aside from some minor disgruntlements.

I love Guitar Pro! It encourages me with my guitar lesson plans and putting my music to paper. It has a ton of choices to make life simpler and works admirably at that! I like the Tab-altering too. It changes the game of writing music and it's functionality is excellent. It's very easy to learn and use so I would highly recommend it!

Sometimes the UI is frustrating to deal with. It can be difficult to find the correct choice or apparatus to match your song. It can take some time to discover the right sounds; maybe a big longer than some of it's competitors. I feel the program is very useful for music creation, but the drum sounds and mixing options are somewhat limited as well. All in all, the interface can be a bit confusing to learn, but with time, you'll be able to figure it out and make songs that sounds professional.

Guitar Pro is extraordinary compared to other music notation devices out there. It takes some time to learn but it's easy to use once you get the hang of it. There is a large range of sounds and options that make this software better than it's competitors, but you'll need to put in effort to learn the user interface and find sounds that are the perfect fit for your project.

This program is very useful and easy to use. It makes writing music very easy and is very good with after it is written to be able to listen without having to play and listen at the same time. I can actually sit and listen to it instead of trying to play and listen yo. Helps making little "tweaks" alot easier.

Drawbacks:

I honestly have nothing bad to say say about this at all. It is perfect for my uses of it.

Summary:

Great program. I am so glad i found tgus and have started using it. It makes making music so much easier for all of us.

Prior to using TeacherZone we had no way of managing our growing music-lesson business. We had multiple systems trying to organize finances, billing, student enrollment/scheduling, teacher communication, payroll, etc.. With TeacherZone you can manage all of these and more. The software allows you to assign and monitor student practice and progress. Youtube videos are linked in. Communication with students is streamlined and scheduling is managed at your fingertips.

As with any young software product, it's not perfect. TeacherZone has a few kinks that need to be worked out. Sometimes the system has a delayed response time. Certain functions are a bit cumbersome and lengthy to navigate. These mulit-step functions could be developed further to make the interface more user friendly and intuitive.

They are passionate and motivated to make a difference in the world of music-lessons. As this software continues to grow and progress it will only get more and more efficient. I am excited and proud to offer this service at my music studio.
