Scanner Pro Update

https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js

Earlier this fall, my favorite scanning app, Scanner Pro, came out with an update that can automatically categorize documents based on features it can identify across your various files.

One of the things that repels people from going paperless is that it often takes a lot of repetitive steps to manage files. Renaming, organizing in folders, tagging, etc…

Over the years, Scanner Pro has been aggressive about adding features to smartly take on some of this work through automation.

Scanner Pro can now automatically recognize your scans as sheet music, and label them as such.

One of my other favorite features is the ability to designate a specific folder inside of Google Drive or Dropbox to save scans into in one tap. This makes saving scans to a specific folder of sheet music in my Google Drive as easy as can be.

🎙 Recent Podcast Episodes – “Noteflight Marketplace” and “Going Paperless”

In case you do not subscribe to either of my podcasts, each had a new episode published this past week. They are good ones…

🗒 Road Trip!!! Off to the Tennessee Music Educators Association Conference!

I am pumped to be spending the next four days in Nashville to present at the Tennessee Music Educators Association Conference. I am presenting three sessions tomorrow, Friday, April 13th. One of these sessions is brand new and focused entirely on teaching intonation to student musicians with the support of the Tonal Energy tuning app. Scroll down for links to all of my session notes.

Road Trip!!!

My wife and I are making a road trip out of this event. In addition to eating and drinking our way through the city over the next few days, I am excited to be seeing old friends and new. Tomorrow night we will be seeing the Nashville Symphony Orchestra performing a program of Elgar, Mozart, and Bach. I will get to watch a friend of mine from grad school, Joshua Hickman (Principal Timpanist), performing with the ensemble.

I will also get to meet friend, Craig McClellan, in person for the first time. Craig has an awesome education/technology blog called The Class Nerd and has been a recent regular on my podcast. (Listen here and here).

Craig and I may or may not have a very special project we are cooking up for teachers later this year…
