Pat Metheny“An incredible aspect of what it is to be a musician in the 21st century.”

“I have to admit that at least with one of the other music programs I’d looked at, I just felt I didn’t have three weeks of my life to learn it, while with Sibelius I felt that in a fairly short period of time, I’d be able to make it happen – as was exactly the case."

Pat Metheny, jazz guitarist & composer

“Sibelius has changed my musical horizon - making what would be impossible, possible."

Gil Goldstein

“Sibelius is a beautiful system for music creation that's fast, easy and fun; it also provides those countless 'light bulb' moments that only the best software can do"

Peter Erskine

“Sibelius is one of the most innovative pieces of software I have ever used”

Ray Charles (1930-2004)

 “Sibelius: the best I have come across to date!”

Billy Cobham

“This is one intuitive program! With little or no effort you merely input the notes, and the software does the rest”

Bob Mintzer

“I never in my wildest dreams thought that I could be dragged away from my lifelong composing tools – pencil, paper and keyboard. I’ve now discarded all of them in favour of Sibelius - the best musical associate I’ve ever had”

John Dankworth

"Sibelius has certainly made life easier. Its intuitive design has helped me to bridge the gap between creativity and practicality."

Michael Brecker (1949-2007)
