Sibelius. Am I right? This program is infuriating, sometimes. It’s taken me years to build up a solid workflow with it. But I don’t want you to have to do that, too. 

That’s why I’m sharing 5 useful shortcuts I use when I’m writing with Sibelius. These aren’t crazy in depth or anything, just ones that I find help me get the program out of the way of composing. 

Be sure to subscribe to the youtube channel, like the video, and leave a comment with the shortcut that helped you the most; whether it’s on this list or not! 

Thanks so much for being here.

“Good artists copy, great artists steal.” This is a common saying, but what does it actually mean? Don’t worry, we're not actually committing a crime or anything like that. 

Let's demystify that quote – and I’ll teach you how to “steal” someone else’s music and make it your own. Making you, according to this quote, a great artist! And who doesn’t want that?

Be sure to subscribe to the youtube channel, like the video, and leave a comment if you’ve ever “stolen” music before. I’ve 100% done it and there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s an integral part of advancing as a songwriter.
