Welcome to Sonolize! The online platform for composers and musicians to digitally offer and buy sheet music. If you are new to Sonolize, please take the time to get to know us.

As a platform for music writers and users, Sonolize takes intellectual property very seriously. And of course, we expect the same from you. Because we believe that the rights belong to the maker of the music, photo of the content, in short everything he or she makes.

Purchasing a score gives you the right to download one copy of that score, and to use that score for your own, non-commercial purposes, but no other rights are granted by purchasing a score. You may not perform the score in public or modify or amend the score. Please read more about the "license terms and the use of music" in our Help Center.

And if you as a composer offer sheet music or place content on your personal page, please ensure yourself that you have all the rights to this. Also, read our terms and conditions.

If you want to file a notice of alleged infringement of copyright intellectual property, make a counterclaim against a notice of copyright infringement that has been filed against you, or want to withdraw a notice of infringement that you have filed, read “Copyright Infringement of Intellectual Property” in the Help Center.

Notification

As a platform for music writers and users, Sonolize takes intellectual property very seriously. And of course we expect that from you too. Because we believe that the intellectual property rights belong to the copyright holder of the music, photo or content.

Purchasing or downloading a score gives you no right to record this work or perform it in public. In this case you need to obtain permission in writing from the copyright holder. To that end, you can contact the copyright holder. In certain cases, composers, arrangers, copywriters and performing artists are affiliated with a performance rights organization (as in Netherlands Buma/Stemra and Sena). The consumer or performer of the music supplied is obliged to report the public use of products of the copyright holder (such as recordings or concerts) both to the relevant organization(s) and to the copyright holder.

It is not allowed to modify or amend the products, including but not limited to music downloads and sheet music in whole or in part, print or otherwise reproduce in any manner or disclose, to swap, forward, or to pass to third parties, without the prior written permission of all copyright holders.
No products or material may in any way be copied, reproduced, republished, uploaded, arranged, remixed, posted, publicly displayed, combined with images encoded, translated, transmitted or distributed (including through "mirroring") to any other computer, server, website or any other medium for publication or distribution or for any commercial purpose without written consent of the copyright holder.

With the filters at the top of the page you can search by composer, arranger, instrumentation or genre. By default, search results are shown in order of how "relevant" the items are with what you're looking for.

On the left side of the search results page you will see a filter list to further refine your search results by composer, arranger, instrumentation, genre, grade, duration or year.

 
In the search results you can click on 'View item' per music piece. Here you can see more information, a preview, and if added a midi file or links to Soundcloud or YouTube and the price of the sheet music.

When you have found the sheet music you are looking for, make a choice between 'Score + Parts' or 'Score' and click on the appropriate button. The correct items will then be added to your order list.

I can't find my invoice in the mail.

I can't open my files.
