The Technology Institute for Music Educators (TI:ME) has a section open to all titled “In My Humble Opinion” (you can find it under “Resources”). In this section you can find numerous articles written by such authors as Peter Webster, Steven Estrella, John Dunphy, Lee Whitmore, Don Muro, and others. These excellent articles cover a variety of topics that include music technology in education, performing with music technology, and how to fix certain technological bugs in your computer, to just name a few.
This month, Dr. Scott Watson, educator, clinician, author, and wonderful composer (my elementary band students love his music!), has written an article titled “The Interesting Intersection of Modern Art Criticism, Music Education Technology, and Philosophy’s Hegelian Dialect!” In this article he writes about the the Hegelian Dialect: “two opposites - such as Good and Evil, Mind and Body, or perhaps even Finale and Sibelius! - are first argued back and forth. Eventually, however, in many cases a synthesis is achieved in the pursuit of truth.”
I highly recommend that you read this article because he dives into MAC vs. PC and Finale vs. Sibelius in a way that makes sense and without getting too involved into the logistics of each program. In return, you will come away from this article wanting to further your own research about the two platforms and the two notation programs.
