Welligton Sousa Brazil, Pindoretama "The free-scoring helped me with the release of my work. From that site got several contacts and my scores were performed in France, Italy, Germany and other countries. And the dissemination of music for a composer is very important."
Labrecque, Samuel Canada, Quebec "I discovered Free-Scores.com in 2007 when I was just a beginner. I posted my first pieces, then people commented on them, and I improved my compositionnal skills. Because I have to admit, when I began, I was a musical jerk, but Free-Scores gave me a chance anyway and I want to thank them for that. Now, I think that I am figurehead on Free-Scores (I don't want to seem conceited).
If I resume, Free-Scores.com is the chance of a life for a composer or arranger."
Appignani, Marcello Italia, Roma "Thank free-scores.com to share and spread my music!"
Sainz, José Ramon Spain, S. Quirze Valles "Free scores has been a great idea.
Listen to music,share music, edit the music itself and learn from others is one of the great things included in this work.
Congratulations for the great contribution to spread the music and do the music great and participatory."
Bernet, Atie Sweden "Hi everyone,
This website is an unique opportunity to share music that you compose or arrange and I think for teachers and pupils it is an easy way to get acces to something new, without having to search in music-libraries or buy musicbooks.
The technique in our days is a wonderful source which many people use for the good things, so that also others can get advantage of it.
It is also a source where unique musique from other countries is accesable.
Last but not least, for composers it is fun to see how other people compose and arrange and develop themselves, a real inspiration for myself.
It is also easy to give your compositions to public and get reactions of them, so that you can see how many all over the world appreciate your work.
Victor, I want to thank you, for creating such wonderful source of gladness for many musiclovers! "
"Victor Reny, genius, and creator of this site, offers a platform for emerging artists to receive possible recognition, and strengthen their craft; as well as established composers, who can offer leading light and wisdom and experience to those emerging artists. My own experience with free-scores has been enlightening; and has imparted to me, the feeling of inclusion in a difficult and underrated genre of music (Modern Classical) I am thrilled that free-scores also makes available scores for retail; giving weight and business sense to the support of the electronic community of musicians here, attracting visitors to the dual "free" artist portion of this splendid site. This site is different from others of similar construction: free-scores' very openness (how artists and visitors can keep in contact with one another) & visibility (the casual feel of the layout of this site; and free-scores' addenda: such as Interpreter Mp3, Videos, the Donation system, etc.) makes for a veritable experience, like a gourmet meal. Thanks a million to all involved in the upkeep of this revolutionary home for thousands of striving musicians and artists."
Leonard Birch Australia, Albany "I must firstly thank www.free-scores.com for the oppotunity to display my Music Scores and now Mp3's. I also must thank you general public for downloading my Music. I hope that all of you have had enjoyment with the works that I gladly share with you.
Please could viewers who download these scores, leave a comment as this is the only way I will learn in composing future compositions. I would be grateful for all your e-mails and comments.
All the very best hope to hear from you in the future and thank you free-scores.

Gibson, John United States (USA), Vancouver, Washington "I have been in the business of selling sheet music for 12 years and have over 650 pieces of music on my website. That is great, but I also enjoy giving away music. Every month I work up a new piece of woodwind music to give away on my email newsletter. After a couple of weeks I put the music here for everyone to download on free-scores.com.
Congratulations to the originators of free-scores! The site is easy to use for both finding music and giving it away. I use it for both. I have found all kinds of music for my own playing as well as for my students. Thanks!

"
LEONARD ANDERSON United States (USA), Norwalk, Ohio "Where were we before FREE-SCORES?.....digging in file cabinets and shelves of music stores around the world looking for sheet music, that if we ever found, was priced too high to buy. But thanks to the genius of VICTOR RENY, a genuine master of technology (and the guitar), and his brother, they collectively gave birth to an amazing MUSIC SITE that not only offers FREE MUSIC to the world, but allows composers, arrangers, performers, and audiences alike to enjoy both the music of the masters of long ago, and the music of the budding maestros of tomorrow.
It has been my pleasure to, on-line, meet great musicians, composers and arrangers who I now embrace as my musical family and friends....from all point on the globe....to all age groups, and to amazing composers who write in all styles of music.
My joy of finding great new music (many such compositions written by the above fine composers) on Free-scores every day has resulted in a library of mp3s that I have recorded of over 2000 compositions and arrangements listened to by over 1,000,000 people world wide....
FREE-SCORES...an amazing site.....congratulations VICTOR RENY."
Dejonghe, Koen Belgium, Sint-Pauwels "This site is a serious interesting place for REAL communication and interaction between composers and interpreters.
There are many quick and efficient possibilities to listen and read the score. The reactions and the contacts I made were sometimes short and sometimes longer. For instance Len Andersen does a great djob and gave already many recordings of some of my scores.Thanks to the webmaster who works hard to hold it lively with new ideas.
Keep the good djob Reny Victor!
