Dorico SE Summer Sessions

DeutschEnglish

What are the summer sessions?

This summer why not take a deep dive into the free notation software, Dorico SE, with this series of live streams covering many useful topics for your musical needs.

When is it?

The series will run for five sessions on Wednesdays from 10th June until 15th July at 4pm UK time (8am LA, 11am NY, 5pm CEST). They will then remain on YouTube in case you miss a session or want to review the lesson, but please join live to get the most out of each topic, and get your questions answered live.

How do you join?
