Music App Tutorials

 

Here are some video tutorials I recorded to help you get started using the free app called Chordbot Lite, which is helpful if you’re trying to find chords to fit a melody.

In case you’d like to create simple sheet music for your songs, Noteflight is a free, web-based music notation software. I’ve inlcuded a link to one of the company’s overview videos, and then I made 7 short tutorial videos to walk you through how you can notate your melody and insert lyrics and chords. There is also a short video on how to save and print. Have fun and take it slowly, it’s perfectly normal that it will take some time to learn to notate music.
