How it Works
Step 1: Sign Up
Composers can sign up for our service through our website. We ask for basic information such as name, email, and a brief bio, to get started.
Step 2: Describe your composition
When signing up composers create a profile which outlines the composition, basically what instrumentation they need for their piece. This helps us match them with the right musical artists.
Step 3: Matching
We use a proprietary algorithm to match composers with world class musical artists based on their skills and experience. We also have a unique application that matches each composer with all of their artists based on location and individual availability.
Step 4: One-On-One Coaching Sessions
Musicians and composers then book one-on-one coaching sessions, with their matched performers or conductors. These sessions can take place in person or online and are tailored to the specific needs of each composer.
Step 5: Recording Sessions
If a composer chooses to use one of our more premium services, they can book a recording session with their team of experienced artists and engineers. We provide top-notch recording equipment to ensure that the final product is of the highest quality.
*Note: SoundScore assumes no rights to these reading, archival recordings.
