Music Notepad
Charanga’s scoring and notation software for beginners
Music Notepad offers an excellent way for children and young people to learn about the written language of music and compose their own pieces. The scoring and notation software is designed for young people to use in schools and provides easy learning steps.

Students can work independently with it or in groups in the classroom and continue their learning at home. Video tutorials explain the full range of Music Notepad’s features.
