Sibelius's Alphabetic Note Entry method can be used to enter notes onto a staff using computer keyboard letters for pitch names and the numeric keypad numbers for selecting rhythmic values (3=eighth note, 4=quarter note, 5=half note, etc.).

Here are several exercises to get you started entering music into the Sibelius music editor:

  1. Mary Had A Little Lamb [PDF] which introduces pitch and duration entry in the Simple Note Entry mode of Finale.
  2. Bach prelude in F minor [PDF] (BWV 881, Well-Tempered Clavier, Book II) which introduces chord note entry and other essential notational components.
  3. A chorale [PDF] (Dir, dir, Jehovah, will ich singen) which introduces the concept of voices/layers in Sibelius for multiple voices on a staff.
