21 November 2024 Newsletter
Thank you for the support that Allmusic received in 2024. It is encouraging to experience that, in a time when online purchases without personal service become normal, the effort we put in for our clients is appreciated and fruitful. We wish you all a wonderful festival season.
We are compiling our stock orders for January 2025.
You can rest assured that the music your learners require will be held aside if you send us a list as soon as possible. The best practice is to always use original music right from the start.
It happened again this year that original music for an exam or concert had to be ordered just before the date. This causes unnecessary stress to the candidate and the music might be out of stock at that moment.
