Sibelius 7

Hi Folks,

So continuing with the last week's post, I talked briefly about arranging popular music that the students enjoy and play on their instruments.

I am going to introduce you to a software called Sibelius 7, which you can create and compose music and print them right off from your computer-it automatically generates part transposition as well! you don't have to to any transposition. Just compose and create in concert key!

Here is the link to the power point that Rylee and I made for our presentation in class today. In it, you will be able to see step-by-step screetshots of how to create a score on Sibelius. As you can see, there is the keypad panal which allows you to select different types of notes, which the buttons on the screen corresponds to your number keypad of your keyboard. And to put note names, you can simply type the note names from your keyboard!

One unique thing about Sibelius is that there also is a program called Sibelius Photoscore, which you can generate computerized scores from handwritten music by scanning the hand written copy to your computer and import in into the program.
