Worksheet Creator™ in Sibelius

If you teach music, you'll know how long it can take to produce good curriculum materials. That's why we invented the unique Worksheet Creator, in collaboration with experienced teachers and educators.

The Worksheet Creator frees up many hours of your time by giving you a comprehensive range of ready-made teaching materials – over 1700 worksheets, projects, exercises, songs, instrumental pieces, lyrics, posters, reference material and other resources.

They can be used by individuals or groups in class, or for homework - either on paper or on computer. All of the materials are carefully designed to fulfil curriculum requirements, and to suit school students of all ages. Some of them (such as the repertoire and reference material) are also useful for universities and instrumental teachers.

Many of the worksheets have random questions that are different each time. You can produce both a worksheet for the student and a completed answer sheet to save time when marking. And it all takes just a few seconds.

Just choose from 6 main categories in the Worksheet Creator:

• Posters, flashcards & games has nearly 200 of these, from notes and keys to pictures of instruments
• UK KS3 & GCSE Projects has UK-specific projects from African drumming to serialism.

Creates student worksheet and filled-in answer sheet

Each of these contains further sub-categories – for example, Elements of Music includes 14 areas, such as rhythm, scales, sight-reading and ear training; so with a few clicks you can narrow down your choice to just what you need.

Then just choose how many questions you want - and up pops the student worksheet, ready to use, plus a filled-in answer sheet to mark with.

Using your own worksheets

But you don't have to use the Worksheet Creator materials as they are. You can either adapt them to your own requirements, or create your own worksheets based on blank templates provided. You can also add your own worksheets to the Worksheet Creator for future re-use; or publish them on SibeliusEducation.com for your students to view, play, print and download.
