Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Sibelius Student Edition is our entry-level notation software. Designed for students in grades 4 through college, Sibelius Student Edition is easy to use and fun to learn. It offers students a tightly packaged set of features geared directly to their needs, and you won't find a more intuitive user experience anywhere. Best of all, Sibelius Student Edition is priced to suit the student budget.

Writing, playback, and printing music are a snap
Based on the best-selling Sibelius 4 software, it has everything you need for composing, arranging, and completing exercises. Setting up and entering notes could not be simpler and the playback feature allows you to listen to and refine your composition on the spot.

Improve your overall musicianship
Writing, playback, and printing music are a snap and improved musicianship almost a guarantee. Sibelius Student Edition is so fast and easy to use that the even most routine theory studies and exercises will seem fun and effortless. You'll turn creative ideas into finished pieces in minutes--and with the playback feature, you'll be able to make short work of performance pieces you're learning and practicing.

Publish your music online at SibeliusMusic.com
In addition to helping you write, arrange, and generally advance your music studies, Sibelius Student Edition gives you the tools you need to publish your music to SibeliusMusic.com for free. Sharing your work and interacting with a community of other students and musicians couldn't be easier.

Your entrance to the world of Sibelius
Sibelius Student Edition is compatible with the full Sibelius program--so if you work on the full Sibelius notation program at school or with friends, you can take pieces home to continue working on, then bring them back to school again. Even if your school doesn't have Sibelius, Sibelius Student Edition saves MIDI files for use with all other music software.

Do I need Sibelius Student Edition or Sibelius 4?
If you are a school student, Sibelius Student Edition is designed specifically for you to use at home. If you outgrow Sibelius Student Edition, you can upgrade to Sibelius 4 later at a discount price.

If you are a teacher at a school, university, or college you should get Sibelius 4, which lets you extract parts, create worksheets and exercises, write for orchestra and band, scan in music, and much more. Generous educational discounts, five-packs, site licenses, and network licenses are available for Sibelius 4. Sibelius 4 is also designed to go with the Sibelius Notes classroom teaching pack.

Product worked exactly as described. You have to buy a midi interface when trying to use a keyboard with your pc, but that is expected and not too expensive. Definitely recommend.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not recommended, June 11, 2008

I would not recommend buying this product. I've installed it on two computers, one running XP and one Vista, and this program continually glitches and shuts down. I'll be working away and then it will freeze and I'll tell you, this is extremly frustrating. I'm never running any other programs and many times I'll simply be trying to open a saved file.

I'm not sure why, but this program is seriously flawed! The full version does not have any of these problems, or at least as far as I know. Sibelius should be ashamed for selling such a worthless hunk of software!!!
