Most of my clients are singers of standard American popular songs and songs from musicals who find that the published music does not fit their voices. The charge for the service varies according to the length and complexity of the music. Transposition of a standard American popular song, along the lines of “Stardust” or “As Time Goes By” - about 4 pages of printed music - is $30.
