Here you will find an ever growing database of song and solo transcriptions, chord charts and arrangements of jazz, contemporary and traditional music. Although this site was created with jazz in mind, all styles are welcome and uploading transcriptions is highly encouraged, no matter what genre or time period the selection belongs to.

Mind for Music is committed to the spreading of free transcriptions interpreted by musicians and music lovers to other such people for educational and personal use. All transcriptions on this site come from the hard work of individual musicians who have uploaded or otherwise sent their interpretations of these works to be shared by the world-wide music community, for the purposes of academic study, individual practice or for other personal uses. Nothing is being (or will ever be) sold on this website, but donations to keep the site running (and get more bandwidth) are always accepted (click here for more info on donations).

MINDFORMUSIC WANTS YOUR TRANSCRIPTIONS!
Have any song or solo transcriptions lying around collecting analog and digital dust? Upload them! Sharing transcriptions is a great way to promote your skills as a musician. Every song or chart you upload to mindformusic.com links directly back to a website/email of your choosing. You can share your work and promote yourself for free!
Original compositions and arrangements are also definitely welcome! Mind for Music claims no copyrights on any of the music submitted or uploaded, and all rights of a work remain with the original producer (s) of the work or with the legal copyright holder as per international copyright law.

File types will vary from song to song but the following formats for transcriptions are preferred: pdf, jpg (or gif), finale files (.mus), sibelius files (.sib) and .doc files (as long as they're laid out correctly). Of course, not everyone has access to a computer with either finale or sibelius so if you want your transcription to reach the most amount of people possible, convert it to a pdf (click here for more information about file conversion). However if you do this, I would suggest uploading both the original program file for those who have it, as well as the converted pdf, as finale and Sibelius users may want to use the playback features in their programs to aid in the learning process. Also, Finale and Sibelius both offer free downloads of both Finale Notepad and Sibelius Scorch respectively, these are programs that will allow you to play and view files created on these programs.

Thanks again and enjoy the music!
