Upload Sheet Music
Uploading is a simple step-by-step process. Sign in as a composer and read how it works in our Composer Help Center. You start by filling in information about your work. In addition to "instrumentation" and "genre", you can also add special search terms that tell something about your piece of music, such as instruments that do not appear under our "instrumentation" heading, a specific theme, or other features that are characteristic of your work.
Then upload your music piece as a PDF and determine your own price. Sonolize automatically generates a cover page with the title and your name and a follow-up page with instrumentation and the program notes that you have specified.
Optionally you can upload a midifile or mp4 and add a link to "Soundcloud" or "YouTube" where your music is performed. But, do take copyright and intellectual property into account here.
Save your sheet music now. Congratulations, your music is online!
Your first sale
The sales process runs entirely without any worry for you. When your item is sold, the payment goes through Sonolize. You can see exactly what has been sold in your dashboard.
And as agreed, we will pay you 65% of the selling price. Once a month you will receive an invoice from us and we will transfer that to you, provided that the total amount exceeds € 25. Otherwise we save it until the next month that we are above that amount.
Engraving
If you want to have your music checked by a professional engraver before you put it online, we can help you with that. Sign in as a composer and read how it works in our Composer Help Center.
Blogs, News items and Social media
You can advertise on your own profile page for performances, new music, but also add blogs.
And if you want to boost your sales or want to announce performances, it might be an idea to use social media. You can use your own social media channels for this, such as Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, but you can also use the Sonolize pages.
