ASK Video Interactive Media, known for their DVD training on music software products, is now shipping Sibelius Tutorial DVD Level 1.

This tutorial, the first of two levels, is designed to take users from installation of the program and get them up and running quickly.

Instructor Kelly Demoline guides the user through the basics of Sibelius, one of the most complete software programs for writing, playing, printing, and publishing music notation. The DVD is ideal for users that are new to Sibelius or as a great refresher for more advanced users.

“Notation programs have to be incredibly deep in order to express the detail inherent in written music,” says Steve Kostrey, CEO of ASK Video. “This DVD let’s a user begin to learn the functions and features of Sibelius in a fun and easy way, taking full advantage of the power of this top product.”

The DVD is now available now for $55 USD.
Available on Mac/PC DVD-Rom, DVD (NTSC) and DVD (PAL) all in one convenient package, the tutorial contains a total of 25 Videos, encompassing more than 2 hours of instruction on Sibelius 4.

Sibelius Tutorial DVD Level 1 begins with Installation on a Mac or PC, recommended Equipment, audio & MIDI Setup and moves to a number of “Getting Started” chapters covering set-up, instruments, and menus. It then guides the user through creating their first score, including adding notes and editing. From there, concepts such as guitar tab, key and time signatures, flexi-time recording and lyrics are covered in detail. Rounding out level 1 are concepts such as transposition, articulations, markers, chords, and codas.

Sibelius Tutorial DVD Level 1 is designed to bring users up to a working knowledge of Sibelius quickly and prepare them for Level 2, which will cover more advanced concepts.
