Our Approach

We at Toot Suite Brass Publishing believe that brass quintets should be fun for performers as well as audience members. As such, our primary musical focus is on fun music. But we recognize that brass quintets and other brass ensembles have a rich tradition in church, so we have a secondary focus on sacred music.

At this time we primarily publish pieces that are transcriptions or arrangements of music that can be proven by publication copyright date to no longer be protected by copyright. This includes a great deal of tremendous classical music and some very good popular music from the late 1800’s and early 1900’s for us to draw from. We are able to keep the prices on these pieces fairly low, since no copyright owner compensation is required. We also publish a handful of pieces whose copyrights are actively owned. Prices on these are not as low.

Toot Suite Brass Publishing has made an effort to publish material that is either otherwise not available, or where other publications don’t seem satisfactory. If we’ve found an excellent, reasonably priced arrangement of a piece, we typically won’t publish yet another arrangement of it.

Toot Suite Publishing publishes digitally, partnering with Sheet Music Plus for distribution. You get your music immediately and we don't have to manage physical inventory - Everybody wins!
