What can we at Sonolize do for you as composer?
At Sonolize we like to go the extra mile for you. Therefore we are offering a bunch of options to support you in creating, publishing and marketing your music. Being a member of the special Sonolize community comes with the following benefits:
- Engraving service. Sonolize offers you an engraving service at a very reasonable rate. Several composers already had their music compositions professionally engraved by us.
- Recording service. In cooperation with our partner Brevis Musica, Sonolize can offer you tailor-made sound recordings for individual players and small ensembles in the Netherlands.
- Our Choice quality label. For composers who pay extra attention to their scores and have an eye for detail, there is ‘Our Choice'. A label that guarantees the buyer a professional layout. Impeccable parts and scores, transpositions, fingerings, performance information, etc.
- Licenses. We can offer you the possibility to rent your music and give the buyer a license to play your music for as long and as often as you allow. You still decide the price but especially for larger works like symphonies and requiems this might be of interest.
- Marketing. Effective marketing is the foundation of every business. Weekly we post news items on our LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram pages. By following us on social media and sharing posts you can also create a stage for your music..
- Your news items. You can post messages on your personal profile page at Sonolize and promote your performances, new music or blogs. You can create a link to these messages to social media.
- Your sheet music at YouTube. At our own YouTube channel, we post sheet music of our composers with the accompanying audio recording underneath. Ideal for potential buyers who would like to get a feeling for the music in addition to reading the sheet music. If you are interested in also adding your recordings, or connecting your music channel to Sonolize, please contact us.
