MEET THE INSTRUCTOR

Hello, I'm Ernesto

Hello, I’m Ernesto. I’m a composer, educator, and content creator. I’ve been a professional music teacher for the past 10 years, and I’ve been using Dorico for my professional composing work for the past 6.

Maybe like you, I switched from a different notation software to Dorico and had to unlearn the ways it did things and learn how Dorico thinks of my music. It wasn't easy, and it took a lot of researching things here and there, but quickly discovered that Dorico's intelligent layout and design made these tasks faster and faster. I discovered the best note-input method for me, how to quickly edit the music I've already inputted, use Dorico's options dialogues to set project-wide settings, and get really clean playback.

Today, I use Dorico to write and engrave concert music for my music publishing company, orchestrating and copying parts for pro media projects, and much more. I’ve also created content and videos for the official Dorico YouTube channel and Dorico’s official website.

"Dorico is a game changer and the future. But, the learning curve can feel overwhelming. There is a lot of great help out there. But, this is the course that brought it together for me and got it to click. Pacing, relevancy, connecting the dots just right, just what I needed."

"After 37 years in Finale, I immediately was captivated by how well-organized and comprehensive this course is and by Ernesto’s calm, comforting and clear presentation. I credit Ernesto’s valuable course with escorting me through my initial reluctance to Dorico and leading me into what has become an unexpected love affair with this powerful program. Thank you, Ernesto!"
