• FEEDBACK FORUM and RATING SYSTEM. No other publisher dares to let their customers tell others what they think of the music! Once you buy a piece of music from Silver Clef Music, you then will have the chance to tell others what you think of it on our forum. If you're considering buying a piece of music, you can read about it on our forum before you buy, and learn what others have to say about it to see if it's right for you. We don't censor your feedback for content (except in rare instances to delete profanity or gratuitous flames). If you think a piece stinks you're free to say so. If you absolutely love it, we hope you'll rave about it.  If you think is piece is perfect for the marching field but doesn't work so well on the concert stage, tell others why. Where else can you get this much information!?
  
  
• FULL or SHORT CLIP AUDITIONS. We will work to have a sound clip available for each of our publications, so you'll be able to get an idea of what the tune sounds like before you buy. Our sound clips are NOT some highly-paid professional musicians. People like that can mislead you into thinking that the Finale to Tschaikowsky's Fourth Symphony is a piece of cake. They're good. Much better than the average customer here. No, our clips are of real people playing the music in a live recording, so You'll
  
  
• PROGRAM & NARRATOR NOTES! One of the toughest jobs in putting a concert together is coming up with great program notes or entertaining narrator notes. With Silver Clef's Program Notes Repository you can instantly download program notes or narrator notes for any of our publications, and for a large number of other tunes as well. This is a user-supported activity, so when you spend those hours and hours coming up with great program notes, share them with your fellow musicians by posting them here.
  
  
• COMPOSER and ARRANGER BIOs! Sometimes you just want to know more about who wrote or arranged that great piece. At Silver Clef Music, you can instantly look up the bio page for any of our contributors and learn many details of their lives. Learn what their musical experience is, where they went to school, who they studied with, what other tunes they have written, what honors they have received, and more.
  
  
• UNIQUE SILVER CLEF COPYRIGHT PERMISSIONS! This is the biggest thing that sets Silver Clef apart from the others. We offer copyright permissions unique to the instrumental music world. For the full details, see our Copyright Information page, but here's the short version: When you purchase music from Silver Clef, you also get the right to make as many copies as you need for the instrumentation or voicing of your group. If you have 32 horn players, just print 32 horn parts. If someone loses their music, or marks it up in ink, just print more. No problem.
  
  The only thing you're not allowed to do is to give (sell, lend, transport, telepathically deliver) it to another group. Let them buy their own copy. But you'll never have a lost part again. You'll never have to forgo playing a wonderful Silver Clef arrangement because all the trombone parts are missing, or because all the viola parts have crumbled to dust.
  
  
• PERMANENT AVAILABILITY. Not only will you never have to worry about never losing parts again, you will also never have to worry about any Silver Clef Music going out of print. Because of our unique business model, Silver Clef Music will be available in perpetuity. That means forever. If someone tells you thirty years from now about this super arrangement of the Star Spangled Banner called A Patriot's Anthem from Silver Clef thirty years ago, you can bet we will still have it. Silver Clef music will never go out of print!
