Music Education Resources, Teaching Composition Software and Orchestration Tools from Ravel Virtual Studios

High school, university, and conservatory music departments now have access to a revolutionary new music education resource for their composition and orchestration classes: performance services from Ravel Virtual Studios.

Composition and orchestration are crafts that require both study and practice. As a tool for teaching composition and orchestration, Ravel Virtual Studios’ performance services are invaluable. Assignments and compositions are transformed from notes on a page to incredibly realistic sounding performances using a vast collection of orchestral samples and virtual instruments.

As a music education resource, Ravel Virtual Studios’ composition performance service far exceeds the educational impact of any software for teaching composition and orchestration. Our service promotes more interaction between students and their professors and fellow classmates.

Consider the following scenario: A student completes an orchestration assignment and presents it to his professor. The professor says, “The melody in the lowest register of flute will be hard to hear while every other instrument is playing forte.”

The student thinks about the professor’s comments, but may be skeptical because his low register flute melody was easily heard with the unrealistic MIDI playback from his notation program. A realistic sounding performance from Ravel Virtual Studios would have clearly illustrated the professor’s point.

Students will be excited that they’ll be able to actually hear a performance of their work. Our performances can be played back for the rest of the class as well, so students can learn from each others’ work. Professors can augment their lesson plans and exercises with custom tailored audio examples. They will also be able to offer more detailed feedback to students based on how an assignment actually sounds.

Our unique, proprietary process enables us to craft exceptional performances quickly and affordably. Our prompt turnaround time is perfect for regular weekly assignments, and can easily be incorporated into existing lesson plans and schedules.

We hope that our services will inspire students to write works for larger ensembles, and allow teachers to challenge their students to do so. With our services, music departments can be even more attractive to prospective composition students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, as they can be assured that their work will be performed.

With this resource, your music department will gain outstanding reputability. There are few music education tools that are so affordable and effective.

Our performance services have also been particularly useful for independent composers struggling with unrealistic notation program playback who are searching for a way to get enhanced Sibelius and Finale playbacks.
