Sheet Music Now, Inc., operating through its online platform OnlineSheetMusic.com, functions as a digital marketplace for sheet music. The company was established in 2001 and is headquartered in Los Altos, California. The business primarily serves musicians of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced players, as well as composers, arrangers, producers, students, and teachers.
The company's core business revolves around providing a vast, legally licensed catalog of digital sheet music that users can purchase, download, and print. Its revenue is generated directly from the sale of this digital sheet music. The platform offers a wide selection of music across various genres and for numerous instruments, including piano, guitar, bass, woodwinds, brass, and strings. A key feature of its service is the ability to instantly transpose many of the available music pieces using its proprietary software.
A significant milestone in the company's history was the acquisition of the Denmark-based SheetMusicNow A/S in November 2005 by FreeHand Systems International, Inc. This acquisition added over 32,000 titles to its catalog, substantially increasing its collection of digitized classical and jazz sheet music. At the time of this acquisition, the plan was to merge the existing sheet music website, sunhawk.com, with SheetMusicNow.com to create a more comprehensive resource. The company has received venture capital funding, with notable rounds in 2006 and 2007. The current CEO of Sheet Music Now, Inc. is Kim Lorz, who was also the CEO of FreeHand Systems at the time of the acquisition.
The platform partners with numerous music publishers to offer a wide array of content from leading artists and composers. This ensures that customers have access to a broad and legally licensed selection of music. The business model focuses on providing a convenient and immediate way for musicians to access sheet music, bypassing the need for physical copies. Users can print sheet music instantly or use the company's viewer software for Mac and Windows PC.
