Introduction
Welcome Year Five Maestro's!!
By the end of this Webquest you will learn how to write your own musical composition using the App on your Ipad: Score Creator.
This App is awesome! Instead of writing your music piece using paper and pencils like composers did in the past, Score Creator allows you to create your music piece digitally and listen to it while you create it.
