In addition to trying to post direct links to the most current versions of the software in each category, I’ve also tried to include at least one program from each of the major operating systems (Mac, Windows, Linux). I’ve tried to include a number of programs that comprise most of the “sub-disciplines” of the field of music.

I’ve been wanting to compile a list of useful and free-to-use programs for the music teachers with “little-to-no budget” for some time now… With the start of the school year upon us -I guess there is no better (or no more!) time to accomplish this!
