*Excerpt
This is exactly what it looks like: We're going to make you sing. ;)
Description
Much has been made of the connection between mathematics and music over the years. In this session, we’ll discuss various OSS tools for music notation and recording, as well as copyright issues, tips on arranging for various ensembles, and online archives of public domain music. But, mostly, we’ll sing.
