SOFTWARE FOR TEACHERS

Using Dorico notation software in Music Education

Dorico for music teachers

If you’re a music teacher, using music notation software at school and haven’t tried Dorico yet,
you should definitely take a closer look at it! Dorico is the next-generation music notation soft-
ware from Steinberg, released in 2016 and created by the former developers of Sibelius.

Designed to save you time, Dorico Pro is the
ideal tool for busy music teachers. It produces
beautiful output by default and allows you to
quickly and easily input music in order to pro-
duce new transpositions, arrangements and
adaptations for your student ensembles and
performers. Dorico’s unique page layout featu-
res give it superpowers for producing complex
layouts combining text and music in just a few
steps. Its simple, streamlined user interface
fits comfortably on a single display, and with
fast keyboard access to every feature, there
is no need for external keypads, MIDI devices
etc., making it ideal for student laptops.

Dorico’s rich understanding of music theory
ensures that the music is always rendered clearly and unambiguously, no matter how complex
the rhythmic or harmonic situation.
Creating assignments and learning materials is easier than ever thanks to its powerful and flexi-
ble page layout features.

Dorico for students

Dorico SE is the ideal first step into the world of Dorico – completely for free. For upper secondary
students exploring music theory and composition, Dorico Elements is the ideal next step. Stream-
lined and simple to use, Dorico Elements has all of the basic tools you need to write great-looking
and great-sounding music for ensembles of up to 12 players, but removes the tools only needed
by professionals.

As students develop and move to higher education, they can step up to Dorico Pro to fully unleash
their creativity, using the same tool used by thousands of professionals around the world to pro-
duce works for the concert hall, the stage, and the cinema or TV.
