Frequently Asked Questions:
What is a consortium? In a consortium, multiple people or groups have the opportunity to contribute to a new piece of music for exclusive benefits at a price considerably lower than a traditional commission. One individual or group typically makes a higher payment to serve as the leader of the consortium, and that individual or group typically holds the privilege of giving the world premiere(s). This consortium's leader is yours truly!
Do I have to be a trumpet player to join? No, but this version of the book will be written specifically for trumpet. Anyone who wishes to support this project can join and will receive the same benefits, whether they play the instrument or not.
How old do I have to be to join? There are no age limits to join the consortium, but persons under the age of 18 will be asked to have a parent, guardian, or teacher submit on their behalf.
Why aren't names being listed on the cover page this time? This is the largest consortium I've done to date, and parental consent is not always verifiable at scale when retrieved from an online source. To protect the privacy of individuals under the age of 18, names will not be listed in the book by default. If you're a professional musician and/or music teacher who would like your name to be listed in the book, please consider emailing me at msgrantmusic+consortium@gmail.com to become an affiliate/endorser of the consortium.
Will this book be for sale to the public once it's complete? Yes, but not immediately. After the last piece is released on June 1st, 2026, the will enter the market for sale to the general public on August 1st, 2026.
Will Leopard's Pursuit be included in this book? No - Leopard's Pursuit is currently available exclusively with Diversify the Stand's Winds of Change. However, since Winds of Change is offered as a bonus for joining this consortium, every consortium member will also get direct access to Leopard's Pursuit because they will have access to Winds of Change.
Do I have to perform the pieces if I join the consortium? Nope! There will be no requirement for consortium participants to perform the pieces during the exclusivity period (or at all).
