Where can I purchase your sheet music?
You can purchase sheet music through my Sheet Music Shop on Ko-fi. I am still self-published so everything is a digital download for the time being. Payments on Ko-fi are processed through Stripe or PayPal.
If a piece of music you're looking for isn't available on Ko-Fi, please contact me and I can see what I can do. Music should be in the hands of those who want to play it. If you'd like something arranged for a different ensemble, please send me an e-mail and we can talk arranging.

I'm interested in commissioning a new work. How does this work?
Please note, I will not be taking any new commissions so that I can focus on my health
Commissioning is an enriching collaborative process where we work together to write a work uniquely for you or your ensemble. Please contact me with your idea (no matter how small or well-formed it is(n't)!). Consider what instrumentation you'd like, the length of the piece, and your desired timeline for delivery of music.
For pricing, I begin with basing my rates on the recommendations of the Canadian League of Composers and from there we can negotiate. At this time I do my own copying, and I prefer to charge hourly clerical fees ($25/hour) as I feel this is more fair to both parties.
What if I can't quite afford it?
Contact me nonetheless! What is the use of a creative mind if I can't use it to come up with creative solutions?
Why do you reference the Canadian League of Composers?
The CLC has researched the industry standards for the composition of music in order to give composers the knowledge and tools they need to be compensated fairly. They are consistently adjusting the rates for inflation based on the government's projections, and this ensures you that you are in fact compensating your composer for what they're worth. This is the same with their orchestration & arranging rates.

Will there ever be another Musical Herstory class?
No, but yes. I absolutely loved the work that I did with the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra, and I have plans to keep doing more feminist musicology work; however, it won't be called "Musical Herstory." The name "herstory" implies women only, and can marginalize those who are transgender, or do not fit in a tidy gender-binary. It also felt like I couldn't talk about men of colour, who have also been historically (and presently) marginalized. All these voices deserve to be amplified.
So going forward, any further work I do in this vein will be under the name "Feministory." Stay tuned in 2023, as hopefully I will have some exciting announcements. So no, there won't be another Musical Herstory class; but yes, there will be some more classes about composers!
If you'd like to see the previous classes, you can see Musical Herstory (the first) here, and Musical Herstory 2.0 here through the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra's YouTube page.
