my biography

Here is the guy that started it all...

Biography of Dr. Jack M. Jarrett:

A native of Asheville, NC, Jack M. Jarrett holds Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral degrees in Composition from Indiana University, Eastman School of Music and the University of Florida, as well as a Diploma in Conducting from the Berlin Hochschüle füer Musik. His career spans over forty years as a teacher in American colleges and universities, and includes Fulbright and Ford Foundation grants, as well as numerous commissions and guest appearances. Jarrett published several compositions and textbooks and his works have been performed by more than fifty major orchestras, including the London Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Pops. Although he continues to be an active pianist, conductor and composer, his major focus is currently the design and development of NOTION music notation and performance software at VirtuosoWorks.

Jarrett taught at Berklee College of Music from 1989 until 2001, where he served as Chair of the largest composition department in the world, There, he trained young composers, including film composers, and oversaw Berklee?s unique technology-based training program in conducting, which incorporated his own software. He left his teaching position in the Fall of 2001 to devote his full energies to VirtuosoWorks.

Jarrett has also been designing software since 1984. Quickly becoming an expert at systems-level assembly programming, he created a music printing program for the Apple II called MusicPrinter and in 1986, became director of software development for Temporal Acuity Products in Bellevue, WA - a company specializing in innovative music education software. During his years in that position, Jarrett designed and co-programmed MusicPrinter Plus for MS-DOS platform. Although MusicPrinter Plus was never aggressively marketed, it sold very well and received excellent reviews. MusicPrinter Plus was noted in particular for its logical interface and powerful performance-generating capabilities.

NOTION and PROTÉGÉ are in the process of becoming Vista-capable programs. At this time, due to updates needed from our security vendor, NOTION, PROTÉGÉ, and all related Sound Kits cannot be properly installed in any edition of Windows Vista™. Currently we estimate to have an updater available by March 31, 2007. We apologize for any inconvenience, and appreciate your patience.
