Sibelius at KS3: creating, composing and exploring

I have used music notation software Sibelius extensively over the years, and it’s a fantastic resource. This resource focuses on Sibelius, although other notation software packages are obviously available, and the activities in this resource could be carried out with them. Our focus here is essentially on how we can use notation software within the Key Stage 3 classroom, what works and how students respond to the tasks.
