Engaging and inspiring

Learning to play the piano can be challenging, especially for beginners, which is why we do more than just create music.

We create experiences.

Our composers and arrangers take the 88 notes of the piano and give birth to captivating stories, making learning and playing music a truly immersive adventure.

COMPREHENSIVE

We have pieces that can be used at the very first lesson, multi-movement works for accomplished pianists at the concert level, and practically everything in between.

Award-winning compositions grab the attention of audiences, and stellar arrangements educate students while exposing them to the great musical masterworks.

We know that, whatever the musical style, teachers want pieces with pedagogical merit, so we take special care to ensure our music helps developing musicians build their skills and self-confidence, motivating them to practice and improve.

BEST-IN-CLASS ENGRAVING

It’s obvious: music that’s easy to read is easier to learn and play.

Our engraving practices are chosen to improve sightreading and maximize readability regardless of printer or paper: an important factor to consider when using inexpensive inkjet printers at their highest speed draft settings with consumer-grade copy paper.

FAIR, AFFORDABLE LICENSING

Our licensing is straightforward, transparent, and easy to understand:

Our Single-User Licenses are inexpensive, and give one person the freedom to have their music available on multiple devices for their personal use.

Studio Licenses give teachers authority to print as many Single-User Licensed copies as needed for their students.

In addition, some of our works are released under Creative Commons licenses, meaning those works are absolutely free to download, print, share and use.

LARGE PRINT EDITIONS

We are proud of our selection of works in Large Print. Printed single-sided on 11″×17″ paper (also known as ANSI B, Ledger, or Tabloid) in landscape orientation, there is no curl from paper falling backwards on the piano rack.

Large Print Editions are completely re-edited and re-engraved to best accommodate pianists with special vision needs: for example, any repeats that cannot fit on one page, first/second endings, DC al Fine, DS al Coda, etc., are fully expanded and written out, so there is no need to go back to previous pages.

Our commitment to those whose vision requires larger engraving sizes is unwavering and comprehensive; if our Large Print Editions are not effective for some with special vision needs, we are willing to work with them to make our compositions and arrangements more accessible.

Lovely arrangement of this popular composition! It's a wonderful version for students who want to play a beautiful tune, but aren't at the advanced level.
