So there's this one song you're really itching to play. You simply gotta have the sheet music but damn,
it sure is elusive, eh? Well then, you just might be interested in hiring me.
Damn. I sound like some kinda cheesy advertisement. ^^;; Lemme try again...
Ok, I don't do sheet music requests. Tried it once and really really screwed up bad (>500 requests
= X_X ). Now people still email me once in a while desperately asking for sheet music. But you already know that I neither
have the time, energy, nor inclination to do requests, don't you? ;) Well, the only way I could think of to help them .
First off, pls understand that I don't simply grab a book off the shelf and scan in the sheet music.
Instead, I transcribe/arrange, which means I listen to a recording of a song and write down what I hear. This is quite a painstaking,
laborious process and since I'm no musical genius, I usually take some time to arrange a song. Simple ones take me 10 minutes;
others can take me several days.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's how it works:
1) You email me, expressing interest in a commission.
Include:
- title of the song you want arranged
- No classical pieces
- instrumentation desired
- difficulty
level desired if you don't want me to transcribe it as accurately as possible (on a scale of 1-10; be specific pls)
- deadline
(if any)
- anything else you wanna tell me
Be sure to state and describe what you're willing to give me in exchange
for the sheet music.
2) If everything's fine, we discuss in greater detail how you want the sheet music to be.
3)
I arrange an excerpt of the song (4-10 measures) and send you the MIDI for approval.
4) Corrections (if any) are
made.
5) You send me the payment (you also pay for the shipping, of course :) ).
6) Upon receiving the
item, I finish arranging the song and send you the completed sheet music (in .pdf format).
7) Further corrections
(if any) are made until you're satisfied.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, here are the benefits of this whole commission system:
- You get sheet music
- I get
something
- Visitors get more sheet music too
Well, I've run out of things to say. Hope the above seems to be a fair deal. :) Questions?
