Tim Laciano Music Service

From a score of any type, we create, format, proof, print, bind, and deliver all of the necessary parts.

Our professionally copied and formatted materials eliminate questions, contradictions, and ambiguities before they happen—saving you time, money, and headaches.

We specialize in partnering with creative teams throughout the life-cycle of a project. From transcribing demos into professional piano-vocal scores ready for the first developmental workshop to preparing exquisite conductor scores and orchestra parts when the project is orchestrated for a full production.

The best impressions are made when you present well-prepared, considered parts to each performer and begin your relationship from a place of trust. With extensive experience in instrument and vocal ensembles of all types both on and under the stage, we understand what a musician needs to do their best work. Our small, expert team ensures that every client will receive the same individualized attention, high standard of quality, and consistency across their entire project.

Composers rest easy knowing their work will receive the personalized and careful attention it deserves.

Producers appreciate our timeliness, efficiency, and expertise.

Our deliverables make performers and conductors feel valued and supported from the first cold read.
