Sibelius USA Inc. , a part of Avid began supporting a pilot project to bring some schools from across the country into the VT MIDI Project during the 2005-2006 school year. If interested in participating for 2008-2009, contact Sandi MacLeod.

Current participants from outside Vermont are from the states of Virginia, Illinois, Washington, New York, Connecticut, and Oklahoma.

With the goal of improving music education, the Sibelius program and the Vermont MIDI Project make an ideal team. The readily accessible Sibelius notation software and Sibelius Scorch provide a captivating platform for students to enter, edit, view, share and playback their scores. The Vermont MIDI Project provides online mentoring for student work, live performance of student compositions, and professional development for teachers utilizing Sibelius software and Pro Tools to implement composition in the curriculum.
