Where do you get your information? Have you played all of these shows?
Most of this information comes from the websites of the publishers of these shows (or from Google searches) and is readily available to the public. Even better, some of the information comes from shows that I have indeed played, or has been sent to me by other woodwind doublers.
How accurate is all of this?
Definitely less than 100%, but hopefully above 90%. Errors come two main sources: mistakes or ambiguities on publishers’ websites, and data entry errors on my part. I depend on email from alert doublers to correct inaccuracies.
Why is your listing different from the production I played in or attended?
Shows are often available in more than one version, or with alternate scorings. Individual productions may also make their own adaptations. If you have reliable information on a published alternate version of a listed show, be sure to drop me an email and I’ll include it.
Why do you bother listing shows that have no reed books?
If I don’t list them, visitors to my site might think that they are simply missing from the list. By listing them, I make it clear that I have researched them and that they just don’t use woodwinds.
How do I get my hands on the sheet music?
In nearly all cases, the performance sheet music or “books” are only available by rental from the publisher.
How can I help?
- Submit an addition or correction from your own experience. I’m happy to credit contributors.
- Encourage your doubler colleagues to visit and submit their own additions and corrections.
- Post a link on your own website.
