Pricing
For typical projects, pricing is calculated from the lower of either $25/hr. or a set per-
page rate (see table below for per-page rates).  This means that if I receive a 10-page
flute solo that takes me 3 hours to complete, the price is $75 because that is less than
the total of the per-page-rate, which would have been $100.  However, if the project
took me 6 hours to complete, the price would be $100 as that is less than the $150
hourly-rate.  Any necessary corrections are done free-of-charge.

Per Page Pricing Rates

  • Full-Score Page - $20.00
  • Small Ensemble (Duos, Trios, Quartets, Quintets) - $12.00
  • Solo Instrument with Piano Accompaniment - $12.00
  • Solo Piano Page - $11.00
  • Single-Line Page - $10.00
  • Extracted Parts from a Completed Score - $5.00/page

Add $1.50 per page if the page includes vocals

Additional Version Fees
The following fees apply to projects that include multiple versions of the same piece of
music (such as having a piece transposed to three different keys).  The percentage
listed represents the increase to the maximum per-page pricing and does not affect
the per-hour pricing at all.

  • Additional transpositions - 10% of total project
  • Additional instrumentations - 20% of total project
  • Additional versions with extensive differences - 50% of total project
         (ex. A solo violin part with two different sets of bowings)

Exceptions

Under the following conditions, pricing is calculated only by the $25/hr. rate, which
means that the per-page prices do not apply.
  • Pieces of extremely high notational complexity (ex. graphic notation)
  • Musical Examples for textbooks or research papers
  • Editing already completed projects (that were done by a different copyist)
  • Arranging


Payment

Payment (I accept checks and PayPal) is due at the completion of the project.  Unless
you specifically request otherwise, the completed project will be e-mailed to you as
both PDF and Finale files after payment has been received.
