Sheet Music

My original compositions and arrangements have been frequently utilized in educational environments as well as in concert, dance, and film. The links below showcase the three main areas of my compositional activities.

Terms of Use for Sheet Music Digital Downloads

Copyright is wonderful and also strange. It works well (though still quite complex) for professional organizations, but it is still less than optimal for educational institutions, particularly at the K-12 levels. Students should be writing, highlighting, cutting up and pasting together their music to help learn quickly and efficiently. Because of these aspects, I have adopted some terms of use for my downloads, particularly that a purchase of my music allows for use for one year from the purchase date. Please see below, and if you have questions, please reach out to me at ML@michaellinert.com.

Terms of Use for Original Compositions and Public Domain Arrangments and Editions
Owning a piece of sheet music allows for unlimited digital and printed copy usage for personal practice, rehearsal, household performance, or K-12 performance for one performer for the duration of one year from the purchase date. This term applies for all uses but is particularly put in place so that student musicians may print, mark-up, cut-up, re-print, or otherwise do as needed to study and practice the piece for maximum learning while knowing that they may make additional prints, as needed.

Example 1: If purchasing a piece for cello and piano, please purchase 2 copies of the piece. The piece can then be used for practice, rehearsal, household, and/or K-12 performance by all of those musicians both digitally and in print for one year from purchase date.

Example 2: If purchasing a piece for use by a string quartet (4 performers), please purchase 4 copies of the piece. The piece can then be used for practice, rehearsal, household, and/or K-12 performance by all of those musicians both digitally and in print for one year from purchase date.

Example 3: If purchasing a piece for use by an orchestra of 40, please purchase 40 copies of the piece. The piece can then be used for practice, rehearsal, household, and/or K-12 performance by all of those musicians both digitally and in print for one year from purchase date.
