File Upload
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.
