Dorico is already in use in schools, music colleges and universities in a number of countries, including the world-famous Royal Academy of Music in London, and to give more institutions a real incentive to bring Dorico into their classrooms, with the release of Dorico Pro 2 we have made available time-limited introductory pricing that allows you to save an enormous 60% off the standard educational price when you buy five or more seats of Dorico Pro 2 – and that applies both to new educational licenses, and to crossgrades from existing Sibelius and Finale site licenses.
A company you can trust
Founded more than 30 years ago, Steinberg is a global leader in music technology software and hardware. Our products are not only used by professional musicians around the world, but they are also very widely used in schools. In addition to our world-famous digital audio workstation, Cubase, we also produce a full range of USB audio interfaces, apps for iPhone and iPad (e.g. Cubasis and Smart Click), WaveLab (for audio editing and mastering), as well as a complete range of virtual instruments and sound libraries.
A product you will love
Dorico allows you and your students to write, publish and play back music notation to the highest professional standards, all in line with examination board requirements. Music is a vital subject in school, and students and teachers deserve the best music software in their departments. Dorico will help teachers to prepare materials more quickly and easily than ever before, whether you are producing hand-outs or arrangements for your school ensembles, and the quality of its printed output is second to none. For students, Dorico’s unique understanding of music theory will support their explorations into composition, and its unique integrated sequencer with piano roll display helps to bridge the gap for students who are less experienced with music notation. And Dorico is really easy to use and quick to learn, with a very appealing user interface. Dorico is available for Mac and Windows.
Steinberg can offer training and complete customer support: our YouTube channel has dozens of tutorials, and free technical support via phone and email is available.

At these prices, bringing Dorico into your school, college or university for the new academic year instead of buying another upgrade to your existing music notation software becomes a real option worth exploring.
