Yes, that's right. Many of the pieces on this site are available free of charge. If you like one of these pieces and you want to download the score and parts, then you can do so free of charge. I would however ask you to make a donation to a charity of your choice, but whether you do or not is entirely up to you. Amount? You know how much music costs these days, so £5 or so would be reasonable. My preferred charity is Alzheimer's: you can link to it here
Although the music is free, I would ask you to respect the copyright on all the pieces, and download only for the use of your own band.
Other pieces are available from other publishers, and links are provided where appropriate. These pieces are sold commercially.
If you really just want to have a printed set of score and parts, email me chris.brown030@gmail.com and I'll give you a price for the piece you want.
The scores have all been prepared using Sibelius software. Scores and parts have been made available as PDFs on this site, so to view and download, just click on
