Product Description

You've got Sibelius at school, now there's a brand new version for you to use at home – and it’s powered by the award-winning Sibelius 5. If you are a school student in grades 5-10, or a music hobbyist, Sibelius Student is designed specifically for you. The all-new Sibelius Student adds hundreds of extra features over previous versions. There’s composing for video, up to 12 staves per system, and over 250 ready-made snippets of notation to get you started. Sibelius Student is compatible with the full Sibelius program (versions 4 and 5) – so you can take pieces home from school to continue working on, then bring them back to school again. Even if your school doesn't have Sibelius, Sibelius Student saves MIDI files for use with all other music software. Do I need Sibelius Student or Sibelius 5? If you are a school student in grades 5-10, or a music hobbyist, Sibelius Student is designed specifically for you to use at home. If you outgrow Sibelius Student, you can upgrade to Sibelius 5 later at a discount price. If you are a teacher, school, university, college or a university/college student, you should get Sibelius 5, which lets you extract parts, create worksheets & exercises, write for orchestra & band, scan in music, and much more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, April 1, 2009

I explored all the options and chose the Student version of Sibelius. I couldn't be happier. It takes care of my writing and transposing needs and produces nice clean copies of music that I can share in email or print out. It also supports MIDI input from my keyboard. The price was right, and it doesn't load a huge program on my computer that I'll only use 1/4 of. I'm so glad Sibelius makes this stripped down version for people like me who don't need all the bells and whistles. I may never need to upgrade!

This is a great product but i recently upgraded to the full Sibelius 5 version, the best product of it's kind out there. The Student version is quite adequate to start with (the upgrade to 5 is very reasonable). WH
