Why Amadeus?
Fifty years of putting the right music in the right hands.
Our family has sold sheet music since 1976, to choir directors, band directors, teachers, and people who simply play for the love of it. We built this store to be the one we always wished existed. Here is what that means for you.
-
You find the right music, fast
More than 135,000 titles, each one filed where a musician would look for it: by voicing, by instrument, by ensemble, by difficulty. Search by title, composer or arranger, or type the number printed on the music you already own.
No wading through pages of the wrong arrangement. See how to search like a pro.
-
You see it and hear it before you buy
Open the music and look inside. Play the recording. On many titles, follow a score that scrolls as it plays. And every page gives you the details a musician asks about first: voicing, difficulty, accompaniment, what is in the set.
You should know what you are buying before it lands on a music stand.
-
Every voicing and part, on one page
Found the piece, but need it for SAB and not SATB? Need the accompaniment track too? On a choral title the other voicings and parts are right there to choose from. One page, not five searches.
-
A fair price, with nothing hiding in it
Shipping is charged by weight, at about what the carrier charges us. We don't treat it as a second price tag.
Nothing is ever added to your cart that you did not put there. No subscription, no club to join before you can check out.
-
The truth about when it will arrive
Your order ships direct from the publisher's warehouse, not from a back room of ours. That can add a day or two before it leaves, and we would rather tell you so here than have you find out the week of the concert.
Tell us your rehearsal or performance date and we will give you a straight answer before you order.
-
Someone always answers
Aria, our Songbird, is in the chat at any hour and knows the catalog cold. Want a person? Tap Talk to a person under the chat box and one of us joins the conversation. If nobody is free, leave your email right there and we reply within one business day.
Or write to info@amadeussheetmusic.com, or call (619) 324-3160. Either way, you hear from someone who reads and knows music.
-
Made for the way schools and churches buy
Purchase orders. Invoices with 30 days to pay. Written quotes for the business office. Tax exemption kept on file. Need a title from another publisher? Put it on the same list, and it arrives on the same invoice.
Send us your list and we will do the rest.
-
We are musicians first
Long before our family sold music, we played it. When we were kids, Thursday nights meant all seven of us crowded into the family room to play jazz, each on a different instrument. In 1976 Dad turned that love into a music store, and we have been at it ever since.
So when you ask which edition, which voicing, or what will work for your group, the answer comes from people who have stood where you stand.
What we will never do
A store is known by what it refuses to do.
- Promise a date we cannot keep. If we don't know, we say so.
- Slip a charge into your order. What you see in the cart is what you pay.
- Leave you talking to a wall. Every question gets an answer from a person who cares how the concert goes.
Try us with one order.
One piece for Sunday, one method book, one set for the spring concert. If we are not the easiest music store you have bought from, tell us, and we will fix what got in your way.
