Hal Leonard has taken on distribution of Pro Tools digital audio software and Sibelius music notation software in the EMEA territories.

‘We chose to expand our European offerings with Avid as their solutions are the industry-standard creative tools used by artists, producers, mixers, composers and orchestrators all over the world,’ says Hal Leonard Europe Sales Director, Tom Venvell. ‘Avid offers creative tools for people at any stage in their careers, from those just starting out to award-winning pros, with licencing options to suit any budget. The success of Avid’s creative tools motivates our business growth as we expand into new territories. It was a logical choice for us to expand our long-standing relationship with the company.’

As an Avid Strategic Global Partner, Hal Leonard already distributes Avid software and hardware solutions in North America and Australia, as well as supporting online initiatives with digital and physical content, back-end licencing and marketing.

‘Following the recent expansion of our creative tools family, Avid now offers a complete set of solutions that grow with artists from the time they start out, to the moment they become professionals, to when they’re at the pinnacle of their careers,’ says Avid, Senior VP of Global Sales, Tom Cordiner. ‘Hal Leonard’s expertise in Avid solutions, combined with its extensive dealer network, will help the creative communities in EMEA to do their best possible work, and take advantage of our creative ecosystem to help advance their careers.’
