Direct feedback from elite performers

Hear your piece through the instrument it was written for in the hands of experts. Work in real-time with world-class artists who can help refine your music.

Reality

What an expert artist reveals about your score

In these sessions, a musician plays through your score, showing what works, what may not, and the possibilities you may not have considered. It’s the difference between imagining how your music might sound and hearing it come to life through the insight of someone who has mastered the instrument.

Substance

What you get from your session

Spend time with a musician who explores your music with you in real-time. Allowing you to try different options and make the right choices for your music.

Performance

Your score comes alive on the actual instrument, not through a MIDI approximation.

Notation

The artist identifies with you, where the written page creates friction or confusion in real hands.

Technique

Learn what the instrument can do and how small changes make the difference between good and great.

Expressivity

Hear how breath, articulation, phrasing, and gesture shape your music into something that moves people.

Questions

Ask anything. Extended techniques, fingerings, how to notate what you hear. Get answers directly from the artist.

The time with Jessica was both insightful and encouraging. Having my music read and played by a true expert was exceptional, but her approach to the music, her attention to detail, and her feedback were priceless. I hardly would find this kind of insight without talking and workshopping with Jessica on SoundScore. It is all about learning how the players think and their approach to the material, which is completely different from my approach as a composer.

Built for composers who write for real musicians

Thank you! Your submission has been received!
Oops! Something went wrong while submitting the form.

I participated in a One-On-One Soundscore session with Alex Sopp with the help of the Gabriela Lena Frank Creative Academy of Music, and it was an incredible experience! Soundscore offers a variety of great services, from recording sessions to score readings and more! The interface itself was very easy to use, and I really appreciate that Soundscore allows you to connect with a large variety of artists that specialize in any skillset you may need. During my One-On-One session, I shared one of the singles from my upcoming indie rock album, and also had the privilege of listening to Alexis music as well. I was able to get some awesome feedback from Alex about how to take a mixed chamber ensemble song to the stage, what to think about when arranging and creating a live score and parts for the musicians involved, and learn more about her performance experience and personal songwriting process. I really appreciated our conversation and am feeling so inspired and excited. I would absolutely recommend Soundscore in a heartbeat! Molly was wonderful to communicate with, very responsive, and helped foster some important moments during my conversation with Alex. I really appreciate that Soundscore is a place for artists of many different backgrounds and experiences. I was able to take a more 'untraditional' approach with the session, and I'm really grateful for the experience.
