Learning and Mastering Music
Writing Small Scores

Pizzicato Light makes it possible to learn music and to approach a music software. It is a good companion to a music course followed in a Music School. With Pizzicato Light, the learning is easier for the student and the teacher can generate class materials quickly. But you can also use it just for fun. The program can edit small scores (1 or 2 pages) with a fixed page layout. It contains the full Pizzicato music course so that you may follow it and do the practical exercises.

Writing and Printing Music Scores

Pizzicato Beginner is dedicated to writing, printing and listening to dynamic music scores for soloist instruments and groups up to 16 instruments. It fits very well for choirs and bands of any style. The number of measures and pages is no more limited and the page layout may be modified (number of measures per staff, number of systems per page,...). The result is a beautiful score, easy to perform. Pizzicato Beginner contains the features of Pizzicato Light (including the full music course).
