The problem
Why this project exists
Band directors can find great musical ideas in recordings, but not always in playable sheet music.
Teachers may have rehearsal recordings, concert audio, practice tracks, or YouTube clips — but those sources do not automatically become music students can put on a stand and perform.
Raw transcription can be too complex for developing musicians
Full-band recordings are difficult to separate by instrument
Teachers need readable parts quickly, not just note data
Have
mixed audio recordings video links
Need
clear score student parts simplified notation
