CURRENTLY ON INDEFINITE HIATUS AS OF
MAY 1, 2024.
As of May 1, 2024, I will be on indefinite hiatus from my transcription service in order to focus on other projects that I am currently working on. I will remain on hiatus until I am 100% confident I can dedicate the proper time, care, and attention to these transcriptions once again.
In the meantime, feel free to submit a “Transcription Service Request Form” in order to receive a free quote. If you accept my quote, please understand that I will not be able to work on your transcription(s) any time soon. Also, please do not panic when I tell you that I will not be able to begin working on your transcription(s) until January of next year. This will most likely not be the case and is only worded as such, merely to reiterate the point that I am on indefinite hiatus.
I will contact you as soon as I am free to work on your transcription(s).
Thankyou.
This service will ensure that you receive high quality accurate sheet music for any song/piece that you would like to be able to sing, play on a solo instrument, play on the piano, or both.
Your sheet music transcription will undergo the same care and attention that I would implement if were transcribing a song/piece for myself.
Please read the following to gain a better understanding of the 3 types of sheet music transcriptions that I offer and the pricing involved.
My services include sheet music transcriptions for the following:
Voice/Solo Instrument:
Voice/solo instrument sheet music will be transcribed as a lead sheet consisting of 1 staff containing the melody with the option of including lyrics and/or chords at an additional cost.
Solo Piano:
Solo piano sheet music will be transcribed consisting of 2 staves (grand staff) with the option of including lyrics and/or chords at an additional cost.
Voice/Solo Instrument with Piano Accompaniment:
Voice/solo instrument with piano accompaniment sheet music will be transcribed consisting of 3 staves (melody staff plus grand staff) with the option of including lyrics and/or chords at an additional cost.
Please Note:
Dynamics, articulations and tempo/expression markings will not be included in your sheet music. However, they may be included at an additional cost.
If you would like your sheet music to be in a different key than the video or audio file that you submitted to me, I will transpose it at an additional cost.
Bulk orders (2 songs/pieces or more, with a maximum of 5 songs/pieces per order), will be limited to one type of transcription per order; either all Voice/Solo Instrument, all Solo Piano, or all Voice/Solo Instrument with Piano Accompaniment.
All of my sheet music transcriptions are done through the music notation software, Sibelius.

Once you have decided on the type of sheet music transcription you would like, there will be 5 steps that you must complete in order to receive your completed sheet music transcription.
Step 1:
To receive a free quote, please fill in the “Transcription Service Request Form” at the bottom of this page with all of the necessary information regarding you and the song(s)/piece(s) you would like me to transcribe. Submissions of your song(s)/piece(s) via YouTube links are highly preferred; however if for some reason this is not possible, I have also included the option to upload a .wav, .mp3, or .mp4 file of your submitted song(s)/piece(s) instead.
Step 2:
I will send you a confirmation email once I have seen your completed “Transcription Service Request Form”. This confirmation email may or may not be sent on the same day that you submit your completed form. Within 2 business days after my confirmation email is sent, and I have thoroughly listened to your song/piece, I will email you an exact quote of how much your sheet music transcription will cost. If you have requested a bulk order (2 songs/pieces or more, with a maximum of 5 songs/pieces per order), please allow me at least 1 business week (or more), depending on how many songs/pieces you submitted. Because each customer’s needs will vary, I will break down for you each contributing factor that will lead to the cost of your sheet music transcription (this will include any discounts, if eligible).
Step 3:
Once I have received your confirmation that you agree on the price, I will require that you pay 50% of the total amount before I begin work on your sheet music transcription. This is to ensure that my time and effort is not wasted in the unfortunate circumstance that a customer does not end up purchasing the final completed sheet music transcription. I will send you a PayPal invoice including a complete breakdown of all contributing factors leading to the total cost of your sheet music transcription (you will not see any newly added costs that we did not already discuss in Step 2). Please note, you do not need to have a PayPal account; however, you must own either a credit card or debit card. I have set up my invoices to allow for partial payments, the minimum being 50% of the total amount. I have done this so that you only need to pay twice in total. The first 50% of the total amount to begin my work, and the remaining 50% to receive the final product. When I have received your initial payment of 50% of the total amount, I will begin work on your sheet music transcription.
Step 4:
From the time of your initial 50% payment, please allow up to 5 – 10 business days for me to complete your sheet music transcription. If you have requested a bulk order (2 songs/pieces or more, with a maximum of 5 songs/pieces per order), please allow an extra 5 – 10 business days for each additional song/piece. Once I have completed your sheet music transcription, I will notify you through email and send you a PayPal invoice reminder so that you may pay the remaining 50% of your total amount. As I have mentioned in Step 3, because I have set the minimum payment to 50% of the total amount, you will only be able to pay the remaining 50% in full. I will not be releasing your completed sheet music transcription until I have received the total amount on your invoice.
Step 5:
Once I have received your payment in full, I will email you a PDF file and a MIDI file of your completed sheet music transcription. I will not make your full sheet music transcription available to the public; however, I will ask that I use the very first page as an example to showcase my work to future customers.
IMPORTANT:
Your sheet music is yours to own and is for your own personal use only.
Your sheet music is not to be mass re-distributed, nor re-sold.
