Transcriptions / Music Engraving

I specialize in transcribing and arranging music for guitar, but I can also transcribe music for voice, ukulele, bass guitar and many other instruments. I can provide Tablature. I can transcribe both original music or previously recorded music for which the published sheet music is unavailable.

My Transcription service is an alternative to many overpriced custom sheet music services available on the web. You will find pricing for your sheet music to be reasonable. The rates vary from $25/hr to $40/hr, depending on complexity. I can tailor the music service to meet your needs in just about any way you might wish.

a partial list of the services offered:

  • Transcribe from a handwritten score
  • Transcribe from an audio source. CD, cassette, MP3 or commercial recording.
  • Real Book: Lead Sheet style arrangements
  • Create MIDI files of your music, used for listening, practicing (jam trax/minus one type) or to backup a performance.
  • Deliver your music directly to your email address in a high print quality PDF file Typeset sheet music looks professional, makes a better impression and is more legible than hand written sheet music.

I complete most transcriptions in under five days. Using Finale, I will deliver to you professional sheet music as a .PDF file that can be published or duplicated. I can provide a MIDI file, a .MUS file, or an XML file (readable by Sibelius), as well as transpositions, for no extra charge. I can take your hand written score and create a professional engraving.
