“ The tutorial serves as a great quickstart for Sibelius. As an introduction to the application, it spends quite a bit of time on features and commands that some might find intuitive. Regardless, there is still a great deal to learn for users that have been fiddling with Sibelius for some time and waiting for the "coin to drop." I, too, look forward to future intermediate level additions by the same instructor. ”

“ Gary Atkins has made the process of learning Sibelius very intuitive and understandable. He has also shown function of the programs that are not easily understood from reading the manual.
This video has been of great help to me in getting my music finished and has saved me so much time in the process. ”

“ First I want to say that I was pleasantly surprised to see Sibelius offered from MacProAudio. I am fairly new to Sibelius and
am currently about 3/4's through the lessons. I think the lessons are good and hope the intermediate/advanced lessons will be forth coming soon! ”

“ The tutorial method used in this video is based upon strong educational/learning principles. It is beautifully done with superb timing, careful progression through what would otherwise be difficult steps, sensitivity to those who may not be as knowledgeable in music as one would expect, and terrific on screen graphics to demonstrate each step needed to get the best out of Sibelius.
My background is in education, learning and development as well as music and audio engineering and I must say that the approach taken in the design and delivery of this tutorial is top quality. Well done guys! ”
