“If you are going to have people play music in ensembles, you need some way of letting them understand what notes they’re going to play. That involves notation—and that involves Sibelius.”

“Sibelius is an instrument that is organic and brilliantly organized, so a musician can think quickly and rely on it for ease of movement. Its design makes creativity a distinct possibility and always just a keystroke away.”

“I can really design it to have everything look the way it should look to help the players really play flawlessly.”

“My actual way of working is to go to the piano or electric keyboard and work out the harmonic structure of the piece—then I go over to the computer and boot up Sibelius and do all the detailed work.”

“In Sibelius, I can get the most salient melodic and rhythmic fragments, and then move things around, copy and paste, and fine-tune with phrase marks. I've got it down to where it’s really simple and really fun."

“I often need to quickly orchestrate pieces for different types of ensembles and levels of performers. Sibelius helps to ensure that the scores and the parts match up perfectly.”

“I’ve had Sibelius since it came out and it has remained the program I work with ever since. I was trained to orchestrate by hand, but digital technology took over and made the process easier and faster.”

“When I first learned composition, we had to write everything by hand in pencil, ink, and manuscript paper. I wouldn’t be able to compose without Sibelius.”
