This week's Quick Tip from Selling Sheet Music: Plan For Long-Term Growth

This week I am *on location* in the Nashville office of Musicnotes.com to talk with the hosts of their brand new podcast "Behind the Notes," Lucas Koehler and Jillian Shively!

In addition to their podcasting duties, Lucas works for Musicnotes as a Product Management Specialist and Jillian as a Content & Production Assistant. They had a lot of great insights to share from their years of helping composers (like myself) publish their music.

Composers, Arrangers, and Songwriters can visit the Musicnotes Marketplace to sell their scores on the Musicnotes website, and artists on YouTube can also look in to becoming a Musicnotes Signature Artist.

This week's Quick Tip from Selling Sheet Music: Make Your Website Dummy Proof.

One of the best things you can do to help this show get discovered is RATE and REVIEW it on Apple Podcasts or Spotify Podcasts.

So I’ll make you a deal.

Send a screenshot of your review to [email protected] along with the score pdf and mp3 audio of a piece you would like me to look at and I will be happy to share my thoughts and provide some feedback.

This week's episode is a refresher on how to self-publish sheet music for those wanting to learn how to do it on their own! If you're a student or new to the podcast this is a great place to start!

Today I have the privilege of welcoming percussionist and composer Dave Black to the podcast for the first of a two-part series. He is the former Vice President of Alfred Music where he worked for 35 years in a variety of roles including Editor-Chief of school and pop publications. He is also one of the best selling percussion authors in the world with combined sales of over two million units. In today’s episode we talk about the do’s and don’ts of submitting music to publishers.
