Sibelius First makes it easy for anyone to compose music. Built on the foundation of Sibelius 8—the world’s best-selling notation software—Sibelius First 8 is powerful enough to create professional scores, yet simple enough for beginners, enthusiasts, and musicians to use. Get timesaving new features and hundreds of improvements to drive your creativity—without sacrificing the ease you love about Sibelius First.
Wish you could turn the ideas in your head into fully realized compositions? It’s easy with Sibelius First. From the task-oriented interface, which guides you through the creative process, to features that keep your score looking pitch-perfect, you get just the core Sibelius tools you need to focus on your music writing—without the bell-and-whistle distractions.
With Espressivo 2 now in charge of playback, you can hear your score expressed in the way you intended it to be heard. You can also apply presets to change up the rhythmic feel of an instrument’s timing and dynamics to make each part sound more realistic, as if played by an actual human.
