Sibelius 5 breaks new ground for music education software by providing more ready-to-use musical ideas, worksheets, sounds and timesaving tools for all styles of music.

Over 2000 musical ideas to inspire students End the fear of the blank page! Sibelius 5 inspires your students with over 2000 musical ideas covering all styles of music. These ideas range from classical to hip-hop to house, and have been written by professional musicians from each genre. They’re also perfect for covering the world music areas of the syllabus.

Panorama view to encourage composition - Put a page of blank staves in front of students, and many will fill those staves first, before they even think about the next page. This is perhaps not the ideal way to compose! Sibelius 5’s Panorama view displays a score a wide continuous strip – free from page breaks – so students aren’t distracted by page layout and just focus on the music. They can flip back to normal view and print pages of scores and parts at any time.

VST & Audio units support - Your students can choose from a whole world of sounds and effects to play back their scores, anything from the legendary Vienna Symphonic Library to virtual synthesizers in sequencers, some of which you may already own at school. This is thanks to full VST & Audio Units support, which (being in Sibelius) is also incredibly easy to set up.

New World Music & Choral sound libraries - Not only does Sibelius 5 offer hundreds of music ideas for world and choral music, but two incredible new sound libraries support these styles even further. Developed in conjunction with world leaders in sound libraries including Garritan and Tapspace, World Music and Choral make the perfect accompaniment to Sibelius 5 for teaching the whole music curriculum.
