Description: Dave Olsen of Alfred Publishing (one of the leading sheet music publishers in the USA) introduces himself and the company he works for. In particular, he describes how the sheet-music business has changed over the past few decades, from a model in which Alfred and others essentially republished sheet music obtained directly from the songwriter, to one in which publishers of sheet music actually transcribe sheet music directly from a finished recording for which written music was never created. He also discusses how electronic transmission is changing how sheet music is distributed, how Alfred’s in-house arrangers do their jobs, how to get your song to a sheet-music publisher like Alfred, what benefits Alfred offers to songwriters whose songs they publish, what music educators and musicians should know about copyright, and much more.
