Client Testimonials
“Josh was a fantastic engraver for my project. His communication was prompt, professional, and helpful throughout this process. His knowledge of formatting guidelines, scoring, and software was evident in the clear, polished score and parts he created. I would absolutely recommend his engraving services to other composers.”
“Josh did a fantastic job engraving my new tone poem, Kalaupapa. His creativity, collaborative nature, and technical skill made my music come alive in a beautiful way. Josh really listens and is heavily invested in achieving the composer's vision. I couldn't have been happier with the result.”
“When I realized I would need to hire someone for engraving services, Josh was my first choice. A no-brainer, really. Already a trusted and valued colleague in the composing world, Josh’s engraving work is of the highest quality. Josh is an excellent composer, so he brings a total understanding to each project, being able to approach the work from all perspectives—composer, performer, audience, conductor, etc. Working through the usual tedium of proofreading and revising was delightfully easy; that’s a major testament to Josh’s professionalism and collaborative communication. The final materials Josh prepared for me are sleek, stylish, and beautifully formatted.”
