Date: Sun, 18 Jul 2010 13:44:33 -0400

Since technology has altered the publishing industry, I am curious to see if it has affected the purchasing habits of members of this group. In order to direct this discussion, please respond to as many of the questions below that apply to you.

Thanks,

Sy Brandon, composer, arranger and publisher

1. Where do you purchase music? (music store, online, conventions, etc.)
2. If you buy music online, how do you prefer to listen to excerpts? (mp3, scorch, etc.)
3. Do you take the time to listen to musical excerpts when visiting a website?
4. If you buy music online, what format do you prefer? (print-on-demand, hard copy, etc.)
5. Do you find the lesser cost and immediate availability of print-on-demand music beneficial?
6. What influences you when purchasing music? (colleague or teacher recommendation, reviews, having heard the piece on a recording, radio or live)
7. Do you purchase only standard repertoire or do you seek out new contemporary music?
