Michael ConnollyOffering fiddle lessons, mandolin lessons, and guitar lessons in Seattle, Washington | | We've spent some time here at LM.com talking about different ways to do this. One option is using the ABC format to write musical notation. ABC is a way of expressing music notation using plain text. It's takes a little learning to get used to, but it's pretty easy when you get the hang of it.
More information about ABC is available at the ABC homepage.
The idea would be: a teacher could write:
Here's the exercise I want you to work on:
[abc]
... ABC notation goes here
[/abc]
Then, the student would see a graphical representation of the exercise the teacher had specified.
Do you think something like that would be convenient and workable?
