About this project

Over the years, many people have requested scores for their own personal study. They are all available here. Evanescence is available in book format, and my other scores are all in downloadable pdf format with accompanying streamed audio or video, where I give a little background to the pieces. The non-transferable license includes up to two printed copies for personal use. Digital files cannot be shared. I hope you will enjoy browsing the various choices.
