So you thought that I couldn’t turn your favourite song into sheet music or an .mp3 backing track for use at your next dance recital, audition, performance or karaoke night?

Well you thought wrong.

Using my state-of-the-art ears I can transcribe recorded music into a piano reduction suitable for your pianist, or into a backing track for your CD player. I can also make backing tracks out of existing sheet music if you have it and change the key of existing sheet music.

The cost is a measly $20 per hour. That’s less than Johnny makes at the call centre. What a deal!! Depending on detail and number of parts, a 3 minute song can take between 5 and 12 hours to transcribe by ear. Send me an email with what kind of result you want and I should be able to quote you a price.

The same  hourly rate applies to sheet-music-to-backing-track transcription but it’s heaps faster, a three minute song might only take two hours.

In exchange for your hard earned cash I’ll give you the finished product in sheet music form which will be delivered via email as a .pdf file. Sound files will be delivered via email as .mp3 files. Sheet music and CDs can be sent via snail mail but I suck at post offices so it will take heaps longer to arrive.

Turnaround is usually two to three weeks from receipt of music, but if I’m super busy (eg. Comedy Festival) it might be longer. Material must be supplied to me in .mp3 form (via email or CD) or as sheet music (via email or post.) If you’re desperate and need it done overnight I can do it for a higher fee.

Some alterations to your product can be made after you receive it. Tempo, key changes, and cuts can be easily made. Some things can’t be altered and I’ll let you know in advance if they’re relevant to your music.

Payments can be made via electronic transfer, details supplied after order confirmed.
