Hello, and welcome.  My name is John Zechiel, and if you are looking for someone to transcribe music, you’ve come to the right place.  To transcribe music generally means to take music on cassette tape, CD, MP3 or .WAV and then put that music on paper.  This is exactly what I can do for you.  You can contact me at john(at)zechiel.com. and I will be more than happy to help you.  I am best at doing lead lines for singers, but I can transcribe instrumentals as well.  I can also arrange your music for piano.

My going rate is $0.60 per measure for single staff music.  Add $0.10 per measure for each additional staff.  I will deliver to you professional sheet music on either standard letter or legal size paper, or in PDF format (requires Adobe Acrobat) that you can have published or duplicated.  I can also take your hand written score and produce a professional sheet music copy for $0.40 per measure for single staff, plus $0.10 for each additional staff.

I should point out that I have perfect pitch, and I will transcribe exactly what you send me, so be sure that the recording is of the best quality possible.

Customer Quotes:

"John: Thanks for very professional jobs in transcribing my songs.  I will be forwarding more tapes soon for you to work on.  I really appreciate your superb work."

"I highly recommend John's service of transcribing music.  He responded promptly, courteously and professionally.  The song I was having transcribed was quite difficult with many chord and progression changes.  John had this done over the course of a weekend. The manuscript was of professional quality.  John is truly a talented young man."

"John has done a number of transcriptions for me recently and it has been a pleasure working with him.  He is very professional, efficient, and he produces amazing work.  I feel lucky to have John working with me, and will continue to use him in the future."

"Just a note to thank you again for the transcriptions. The piano to How Great the Gift turned out to be quite spectacular and is a piece of music that will stand the test of time, thanks in great measure to your arranging."

"The transcription is really excellent - note perfect to my ear.  Thank you so much for affording me the chance to add this to my repertoire.  I was disappointed after being told by both the record company and publishers that this sheet music was permanently out of print.  I'm therefore thrilled to get hold of what is undoubtedly an arrangement far superior to what they could have offered anyway..."
