In 1993, two twins, Jonathan and Ben Finn, released their new music notation program. The Finn brothers named their creation after the famous composer Jean Sibelius. It wasn\u2019t until 2006 that Avid took on Sibelius. Sibelius is a sophisticated music program, which allows composers to create, play, and share their music. Sibelius\u2019s editing program is a favorite among film score writers and music teachers alike.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
