Some news about sheet music

Posted by MusicalRocky - June 8th, 2008


The scores to my music are now available expressly through purchase. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I've changed this for a couple reasons.

1) To help bring in some money to me (obviously). Sue me if that's wrong to want money for my music.
2) To prevent people who want to use my music for fraudulent reasons from getting it.
3) To be more organized about where my music goes.
4) To help me not to forget to give people scores. Chances are, if you're paying for it, you'll get it very soon, rather than it being free and me forgetting to even give it to you. :[

For a regular pdf score of a piano piece (or other solo instrument), the price will be $2.00. For a pdf of an orchestral score, the price is $3.00. Note that for a piece with multiple movements, each movement will count as one piece; thus each movement will be $3.00. For instrumentations above solo, but less than full orchestra, the price is $2.50.

So, if you wanted to buy a pdf of "Fleeing from My Shadow," you would need to pay $2.00, but if you wanted to buy all nwc's of my entire symphony, you'd think it would be $14.00 ($3.50 x 4), but on symphonies, orchestral suites, and concertos, the price is just $10.00! That's a savings of $4.00 for symphonies and $0.50 for concertos. :)

Of course, with money now involved, I would try to make the scores look as nice as possible--professional--for use.

I'll take a moment to remind everyone that my music IS copyrighted, so no attempts to take it and call it your own property please.

On that note, performances of my pieces are certainly allowed, though I would like to know about it. :]
However, performances of my music at concerts where PROFIT IS GAINED is only allowed through my permission, so ASK ME FIRST.

Now, I'll figure out soon exactly how to let you know how to pay me through PayPal lol. My email address associated with the account is still the same as before: rockyreader@hotmail.com. The process is still the same. Email me if you want to buy a score. DO NOT PM ME ABOUT IT. I never check my pms lol.

I know a lot of people are going to think I'm really cruel, doing this. There are several artists on NG who freely give out scores. However, I have written hundreds of classical compositions, and I have hundreds of scores. A lot of work went into not only writing the music, but putting it into visible form. It doesn't seem too much to ask for a little reward for this work.

That's all I needed to say, I think. Hopefully this doesn't make anyone too sad. Questions?

Fair enough. Good pieces comes with a good price. ^_^

haha thanks :D

Ah, phooey,

Lol sorry.

gahhhhhhhhhhh

your music is great! I concur with "good pieces come for a good price". What you're asking for is very reasonable.

But, you're 17 years old....and what I'm trying to get at is you will be immensely better say when you graduate from college around 22-23. (Do you plan on getting a music related degree?)

i'm just aimlessly bitching here....sorry. I don't think youre being cruel at all. you put lots of work into it and its only fair. i just wish that people had enough interest in my music to even ask for my scores (well I should say midi, but I'm learning to read music and I will be able to transcribe them soon! could just import the midis too, but whats the fun in that?), because for me, people having interest is enough of a reward :) Although I have no plans for getting a music related career in the future for multiple reasons, I will still continue to make music, and I see that I'm still young and have years to improve as long as I continue to put in hard work. I was talking to a friend (not sure how credible this is, so read with a grain of salt) at my school and he said that a lot of composers don't get there first job in composing something relatively large until their first or even second decade of graduating from college...So its great that you're trying to start making a little extra cash early...but I just see no rush :) anyway, you did list other reasons so I wont ignore that.

well anyways- just my mini rant. You truly are talented, good luck with your future :)

I will get a music degree :]

Some day, they will ask for them. Trust me, I never thought anyone would ask for mine! Good thing I made them anyway though, right? Good luck with learning how to read music! And good luck with your musical future :]

Thanks for ranting about my news post :P

oh, and my username is just an intentional lame joke ;)

Lawl good one.

Haha you're a budding businessman Rocky!

Best of luck with the sales!

Thanks David!
