Mr. Norton makes good arrangements but often uses his own styles.

The system was at first very jazz oriented, and has a default that says if the style is not found, load zzjazz as the style.

Below the song picker click on the styles button. Note that styles will have symbols beside them, and when you go to Rock, some will have an asterix beside them. The system is determining the beats per minute and type of style you should try. You can then audition numerous styles.

There is, on the main screen a small box that shows the key that the song is using. You can click on that, and it will drop down, and you can choose any key you want. It will then globally change all the keys to whatever you pick, but you can change this over and over.

I'd suggest working through the videos that can be viewed either with you software or online to get into the program a bit more, or to get your feet wet.

The school board here provided the software to many of the primary schools, and most have it sitting on the shelf for lack of training and the time to get the program working.

I constantly exhort PG music to address this issue with a closer tie to primary school music programs by providing specific songs and how to use the software in a school based setting. Hopefully..one day.
