I guess you might as well call me a “Bill of all trades”. I have experience in programming, in advertising, in writing (as I hope this review is an example), and in marketing,

But my first vocation is music. I am within one semester of completing a degree in Music Education at West Virginia University. I do a lot of arranging and composing for various musical groups; from music for two trombones to arrangements for the 300-member W.V.U, Mountaineer Marching Band.

It was a wish I had to be able to combine my love to write music, and to use my T/S 2068 in doing so, I knew that it could be done on other personal computers, notably with the MUSIC CONSTRUCTION SET by Electronic Arts for the Commodore 64.

But now there is a music composition program for the T/S 2068. MUSICOLA by Canaan Software enables you to use your 2068 to compose your own melodies, and to play song that you already know and love. It plays in three-part harmony (using the three-voice sound chip in the 2068), and if you have a printer, it can actually print the music out on a musical staff!
