Term
2 has arrived along with a bit of autumn,
so for me it’s time to come inside and
start creating newsletters,
worksheets and resources.
Thanks for taking the time
to read through the
Computer Music Ltd
2012 Term 2 Education Newsletter
There are links to usefull articles,update links, new product information, and a reminder
to call or email if you need a hand with your Sibelius registration.
You can read the online version of the newsletter here
Sibelius Student and Sibelius First have been upgraded and
combined to bring you the new Sibelius First.
With some unique features to make sharing your music even easier.
Check the Sibelius Blog for the whole story.
We will have stock in NZ as soon as humanly possible.
Sibelius 6.2 and Sibelius 7 network versions have a slew of features to give teachers
extra classroom control.

A single, simple Classroom Control window shows you all the Sibelius
copies that are
running, as well as the students' usernames. You can
freeze students' programs when you
want them to pay attention.
Get
a copy of the score each student is working on—or send a score to any
student, or to
all of them at once. You can also prompt students to save
a version of their score with the
Versions feature, to help you track
their progress over time.
And it's all password protected, for complete security.

Sibelius Network Licence Server
No matter how many Sibelius network licences your
school owns, the Sibelius Licence Server
makes it easy for students to
access them from any networked computer in the school.

Easy to set up—easy to use
Sibelius Licence Server features
an easy-to-use control panel interface that
non-technical teachers can
use. It’s fast and simple to assign licences, replace computers,
upgrade
to newer versions of Sibelius, and track licences.
Experience the freedom of check-out licences
If
students at your institution bring their own laptop computers to
school, you can now let
them take copies of Sibelius home with them for a
limited period of time. This enables them to
enjoy all the benefits of
Sibelius for the duration of a semester, or over a weekend or the
summer
vacation—for up to a year.
This type of temporary licence is
called a check-out licence, because students “check it out” of the
Licence Server when they take their personal computers away from the
school network, and then
“check it back in” when they next connect to
the school network once more. The school effectively
has one fewer
licence available until the checked-out licence is returned. If a
student does not
check the licence back in, it eventually expires, after
which the student cannot run the software
on his or her computer until
it is reconnected to the school network.
There is no additional
charge for using Sibelius’s check-out licence feature. What’s more, if
you’re
currently using a stand-alone, non-networked site licence of
Sibelius, you can now switch to using a
network site licence for no
additional charge—simply contact our support team for details.
You
may even find it useful to purchase additional seats specifically for
the purpose of checking out
licences for students, so you could earmark
one set of seats for use on the school network, and
another for
check-out licences for your student

I've just done a round up of my favourite Music Ed iPad apps
Pretty hard to get to the end of the list, but it's a start.
Most specificly I'm interested in import and export particulars.
How easy is it to create, re use and share music files.
Does it inspire me to play more or find out more?
Or is it an engaging game that teaches on the sly?
Appshopper is really helpfull as it helps you track app prices,
and alerts you to apps which are free for a certain length of time.
its also a good place to check for new apps.
So if you are interested check out my list here.

Sibelius 7 has some huge advantages for our Professional users, most importantly the massive new sound library
closely followed by the new work flow interface and the expanded file portability.
Professional Sibelius users can now upgrade for the same price as the Education users.
