Gary Atkins

“By Martin Sitter

Early in 2008, I was chatting with my good friend David Blumberg, when I mentioned how badly we needed to find the world's best Sibelius trainer, for macProVideo.com. "No problem," said David, "I know just the person for you!"

David introduced me to Toronto-based composer and professional educator, Gary Atkins ... the rest, as they say, is history.

Gary Atkins is a composer, guitarist, keyboardist, arranger, orchestrator, copyist, and computer specialist who has worked in Theatre, Television, Film and Multimedia. Gary co-wrote the music for the CTV series Creepy Canada with Martin Deller. He has assisted and acted as copyist for some of Canada’s award-winning composers (John Welsman, Paul Hoffert and Glenn Morley).

Currently, Gary is the Technology Co-ordinator for the Royal Conservatory of Music (Toronto) and teaches Music Technology at Humber College. As a Sibelius “Ambassador,” Gary travels to trade shows and educator conferences across the continent to demonstrate the Sibelius software for teachers and other educators. He is highly regarded as a trainer, and has been sought after by awarding composers such as Joe Sealy (Jazz Pianist), Glenn Morley (Genie Award winner), David Blumberg (Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, American Idol), Yves Frulla (Celine Dion Band: Keyboard Player), Clarence McDonald (James Taylor, Aretha Franklin, Barbara Streisand) and others to provide training for individual users and groups in how to use Sibelius and other software.

Gary is a great example of the incredible trainers we hire here at macProVideo.com, and we're incredibly pleased to present his videos to you!

"I enjoy Sibelius 6 as it has opened a lot of new doors as far as arranging and composing. The software is great and the tutorial is quick,simple and easy to reference. This is my first time ever in the music software world and glad it was introduced by Sibelius 6. "

- A. Mascari / Aug 16th

"Although Sibelius is not considered to be a difficult program, it is easy to for a self-taught person to get into habits that are "the long way around and becoming frustrated as a result. I found that my time spent here was well worth it and I highly recommend it for new to intermediate users of the program."

- Jonas / May 22nd

"Excellent. Explained from A to Z in detail with clarity."
