Sarah, check out Lessons 48 and 49 in the Sibelius Speaking
Tutorial David outlines the process pretty clearly, although I wish
he explained what the resulting output looked like a little more.
You might also want to read Lesson 50 that deals with swing and
shuffle type rhythms, depending on what sort of music you're writing.

If you get Sonar, you can use the included GM software synth which has a respectable pallet of instrument sounds including drums. We didn't really talk about entering drum notation in sibelius while was there, but basically, each note on your midi keyboard corresponds to a specific drum and you play them in just like regular notes. Many of us record very complex drum parts this way, either one at a time or all at once.

Hi,
You may be able to find keyboards which have USB connections. The Yamaha DGX series is an example of one such keyboard.

Hello. I am looking \ to buying a midi keyboard that I can also use for recording in to a sound recorder like audacity or something. I don't have a midi port on my laptop. Any suggestions? I want this to work with sebilius as well and also a midi sequencer like qws. Thanks.
Sarah
