Setting a high bar (from Selling Sheet Music)
Garrett Breeze’s podcast, called Selling Sheet Music, features practical advice about the art and the business of getting scores from your head to the music stand. Garrett invited Scoring Notes co-host Philip Rothman to be a guest on his show, and it was fun having someone ask Philip the questions for a change instead of the other way around. We discussed thoughts on preparing music and the tech that’s used in everyday work. Philip talks about his business, NYC Music Services, how he got started, and how the tasks have evolved over time in response to changing needs and technological progress. We also talk about some essential elements of preparing your music for publication and how to go about choosing software that fits your workflow. Garrett even got into the Scoring Notes spirit and titled this episode “Setting a High Bar” — that definitely ‘measures’ up to our standard of making terrible musical puns around here.
