Core Sibelius 6

May 22, 2010

Although Sibelius is not considered to be a difficult program, it is easy to for a self-taught person to get into habits that are "the long way around and becoming frustrated as a result. I found that my time spent here was well worth it and I highly recommend it for new to intermediate users of the program.
