About the Scores

 
My goal is to publish clear, detailed, accessible, high quality sheet music you will enjoy playing, so here are just a few things I do:

I proofread each score. Three separate times. And then backwards.1
Because you shouldn’t have to figure out or overlook mistakes.

I provide clear tempo/style markings with suggested metronome markings.
Because vague terms like “Moderately” and “With Love” won’t help you play great music.

I include suggested fingerings on the trickier passages in piano scores.
Because you have better things to do with your time than untangle your fingers.

I never use block piano chords that span more than an octave.
Because, like me, you may have a hand span with an octave limit and music should be accessible to all.

I lay out scores to print on the fewest sheets of paper without sacrificing readability.
Because scores should be easy on the eyes and easy on the environment.

I honor copyrights and give credit where it’s due.
Because it’s not nice to steal stuff.

One thought on “About the Scores”

  1. Your blog is such a wonderful gift! I studied liturgics years ago with Dr. Marion Hatchett at the University of the South. He used to tell us the background of many hymns, and it’s wonderful to find a new source of those great stories. I look forward to being a regular reader!
