1.0 out of 5 stars Choral Music and Vocal Ensembles NOT SUPPORTED!!, November 12, 2009

By 

Kevin J. Murphy Jr. - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: SmartMusic Studio (CD-ROM)

This company does not support Choral Music. Do not let the fact that they sell microphones and subscriptions to vocal ensembles mislead you. They do not have ANY choral music available to practice and have no plans to do so. This discrimination disappoints me. I cannot support a company that promotes discrimination.

This company also makes Finale. After discovering their attitude towards Vocal Ensembles, I am making plans to switch from Finale to Sibelius. If you are a Choral Director, you should too. If you are a Band or Orchestra Director, it would be helpful if you pressured the company not to continue this discrimination.
