Your choir direc­tor hand­ed you a new piece to work on at your next les­son?  Save our pre­cious les­son time by send­ing me the charts in advance!  If you received the files dig­i­tal­ly, you can just upload them below.  If you received hard copies and need to scan them, my aging eyes will very much appre­ci­ate it if you would please:

  • Scan to PDF for­mat, rather than JPEG, PNG, GIF, or oth­er graph­ics for­mat.
  • Scan at (at least) 300 dpi, using greyscale set­tings.  (Col­or scans pro­duce unnec­es­sar­i­ly large files, and black-and-white scans pro­duce grainy, hard-to-read images.)
  • Scan all pages of the piece that include music—even pages on which you don’t sing.  (I don’t need the front cov­er, pro­gram notes, com­pos­er biogra­phies, etc.)
  • Be sure your scans include the full page—all notes, mark­ings, and page num­bers, espe­cial­ly at the top and bot­tom of each page.
  • Align each page as close to per­fect­ly as pos­si­ble with the sides of the scan­ner, to avoid slan­ty images.
  • Cre­ate a new sep­a­rate indi­vid­ual file for each piece (not each page, please!), and use the title of the piece as the file­name (e.g., “A Fresh­ly Scanned Song.pdf”).

Once you’ve got a nice clean scan of each of your charts, use this form to send them my way, ide­al­ly at least 24 hours before your les­son, so I have time to process the files before we meet.

Please pro­vide a brief descrip­tion of the files you’re send­ing.
