Music Composition — Frequently Asked Questions
What is a custom music composition service?
Our music composition service creates original music tailored to your specifications. You provide the brief — genre, mood, instrumentation, length, and any reference recordings — and our professional composers write an original piece from scratch.
Common composition projects include:
- Weddings & events: Processionals, ceremony music, first dance pieces
- Film & media: Film cues, video game music, podcast themes, YouTube channel intros
- Performance: Recital pieces for specific instruments, choral works for school or church ensembles
- Personal: Commemorative pieces, gifts, songs based on a melody or idea you provide
We compose for any genre: classical, jazz, pop, film, worship, electronic, and more. Standard delivery includes a print-ready PDF score, with optional add-ons including source files, individual parts, and audio mockups. Two rounds of revisions are included in every project.
How is composition pricing determined?
Composition pricing starts at $99 USD per minute of composed music and varies based on instrumentation, complexity, and style. Minimum project fee is $99 USD.
Factors that affect pricing:
- Instrumentation: A solo piano piece costs significantly less than a full orchestral work — more instruments means more notation, voicing, and part preparation
- Style complexity: A straightforward pop ballad requires less compositional effort than a contrapuntal fugue or a film cue with multiple tempo and key changes
- Length: Per-minute rate multiplied by the target duration of the finished piece
- Add-ons: Audio mockups, individual parts, and editable source files are quoted separately
Every project receives a detailed, no-obligation quote after we review your brief. Turnaround is typically 5–10 business days depending on length and complexity, with rush delivery available for time-sensitive projects.
How long does it take to compose a piece?
Most compositions are completed within 5–10 business days. Shorter pieces for solo instruments may be faster. Complex works involving large ensembles or multiple movements may take longer. Rush delivery is available upon request.
What formats will I receive?
Every composition includes a print-ready PDF score. Available add-ons include:
Who owns the rights to the composition?
If we’re composing original music based on your brief, you retain full copyright — we claim no rights to our work. If the composition incorporates copyrighted material by another artist, Music Notation Hub retains the composition rights, with a buyout option available (quoted per project). We’ll clarify the rights arrangement before starting your project.
Can I provide a reference recording or existing melody?
Absolutely. You can share audio files, YouTube links, hummed melodies, or written descriptions of what you want. The more context you provide, the more accurately we can capture your vision. If you have an existing melody or chord progression, we can develop it into a complete composition.
Do you offer revisions?
Yes. Two rounds of revisions are included with every composition. After reviewing the initial draft, you can request changes to melody, harmony, dynamics, tempo, or any other aspect. Additional revisions quoted based on scope.
Do you offer printing services?
Yes! We offer professional sheet music printing on premium paper with binding options. Whether you need individual copies or bulk orders, we handle everything from printing to binding and shipping. Learn more about our printing services →
