In August 2022, I purchased a copy of Philip Glass' "Opening" from his Glassworks suite. After struggling with it, I found there were at least 6 mistakes in the notation. SheetMusicPlus refused to refund my money and offered no other remedy. Buy your music elsewhere, they are not a reliable source!

I have made multiple orders at this site. Music has been both sacred and secular. Prices were always attractive. All orders were electronic. The big attraction for me is being able to order a PDF which I can keep on file for future reference. RJ

Good but not great
April 28, 2021

I would recommend that smp spiral bind as an option. Most do not come with fingering. The notes often come blurred. Shipping is an add on and pricey. But it might be less expensive to go directly to individual pieces vs the entire book. That works for me.

Terrible service, excuses
September 22, 2022

7 months of back and forth, at no time did they offer to refund my money. Blaming the publisher.

Finally today they said it will ship FROM the publisher (ie. Please don't blame US!), and warn me that it often takes 8 weeks to ship to such a "remote location" as Canada. No matter that scores from Japan or France only take 2 days to ship here. What a load of bollocks.

Amazingly rubbish company.

Digital orders
October 22, 2021

I have been ordering from this site for quite a few years. I play oboe, in our church from time to time. I love that I can practice along with most of the songs, It saves me from having to drive twenty miles to get together with our pastors wife who is the organist. I accidentally ordered 2 mp3 recordings, they promptly refunded my money. Oboe music is difficult to find. The price is incredibly good also. I certainly would recommend this company.

I used to put up with the spotty (nonexistent?) editing since it is basically a 'garage sale' of amateur music. The silver lining was the cash back program. That was recently discontinued with no advance warning. I'll seek a more reputable vendor in the future for a better quality control.

The most ridiculous time to wait for the order I have ever experienced. One month ago I purchased a tiny book of Scriabin compositions. No update with any information! When it will be delivered? Nobody knows. This is somewhat super wrong. What a waste of time and money! I sent an email and received the response that my order is a back order by the publisher. Seriously? Why didn't you tell me this a month ago?!

No compassion
March 30, 2024

Unfortunately, due to health reasons and a sudden death, 2 books that were purchased in December, as gifts, were no longer needed. I requested a return in February, got no reply, initiated another in the beginning of March, with a response stating beyond the 30 day return policy. SheetMusic demonstrated their lack of empathy & sorrow. SheetMusic is all about the sale.

It is said that if, on a set of company accounts, you see a mistake on page one don't bother looking at the last page - the mistake will have grown.
And so it is with the download of Rachmaninoff op. 21 no. 6 [Otryvok in C sharp minor], the second beat of the third bar, left hand, is the dominant chord and shows B natural not sharp [!]. Bar 6, third beat, an unnecessary # against the F [it's in the key signature]. Bar 7, two arpeggios on F# minor, # is showing on each bottom note, bar 8 has a chord with a random unnecessary F#...I could go on - but I never looked any further...too cross!
I suggest that anyone looking for a download should have a good look before buying...but you can see the first page only!
I have not shown proof of purchase as it shows too many personal details

New Website FAIL
December 19, 2023

I hate their recently retooled website. Their skinny fonts are more difficult to see for older readers. The showing of sample pages to peruse were more plentiful in the old website. One or two shots all you get now. And having to reset my password? My old setup was with Comcast which I no longer have access to. If I start a new account I lose access to all my previously paid-for Digital Library numbers. Who in mgt ever thought this new website was better?

Ordered a pdf copy of music sheet. It is expected to have 43 pages. After downloading it I checked the file and found it has only 2 pages. Contacted the customer service. They insist it is supposed to have only 2 pages. No refund.

I did not receive the music when they told me I would so I called them and NOTHING is ever their fault! I paid extra to get two day shipping but since it wasn't shipped when promised, it doesn't matter how much I paid for shipping, I am not getting it in the time they promised. When the customer service lady could not justify why it was late except to try to blame the publisher, she hung up on me. I will never purchase from here again!

I have now tried for several days to reach Sheet Music Plus by phone as I could not place a corporate order for music online. It fails every time. By email they replied I could try Paypal. Our corporate card does not have Paypal. They have shut their phone lines down completely! I finally had to use my PERSONAL Paypal account to place the order. HIGHLY DISSATISFIED with their service and website!

I understand that we are amidst a pandemic and civil unrest, so shipping may be delayed. However, it's been almost 2 months since my package was supposed to be delivered. I've been in a constant struggle between UPS and this site to ensure that my music will come in general. Tracking has not been updated in again, almost two months, which leads me to believe my package has been lost. I don't care how late it will be delivered, but I'd like to be kept in the loop about when it would be. It's common when you're in a business where you ship items from your warehouse. I reached out to customer service, and they were nice enough but it felt like I wasn't a valued customer. Won't ever buy from this company again. I have asked for a refund and have not yet received a response. Won't buy from this site again. They were very unprofessional.

UPDATE: I complained to customer service that I would like a refund and they did not give one. Instead they said that it seemed my music may have been lost, so they sent out another package without charge. I got it two days later, which was a day earlier than expected and it was through FedEx. It seems UPS may be the problem so I feel bad for being so critical of this site. However, they should have listened to my earlier complaint rather than delaying my response. I love my music but please make sure you stay updated with them throughout your purchase.

sheetmusicplus.com is a great source for sheet music, music books, group music, and competition music.

My kids play 3 uncommon instruments and music is not always easy to come by. If you play piano, trumpet, or flute you can find lots of music anywhere! We have had great selections of popular music, music study books, and not-common music/books.

The search engine is good (instrument name) and prices seem to be a $1-$2 less than other sources. Shipping is fast and I LOVE the hard/chipboard mailers that the music comes in so nothing is damaged or torn.

Another plus -- they offer digital music downloads! Instantly download the music you purchased and print it yourself (if you want to print). *Only caveat here -- some competitions will not allow self-printed music so check before you assume it's ok!

A GREAT source for sheet music!

Bad experience
November 10, 2015

After trying to cancel an unprocessed order very shortly after having sent it they claimed they never received a cancellation and sent the order.
As I live in Europe I would have to send it back at my expense registered mail, not really an option.
Have bought from them before, but after this shambolic experience never again, will buy my music in future from somewhere else.

STAY AWAY!
December 8, 2015

STAY AWAY! Toxic webshop!

First very negative experience with an online shop in years. Ordered expensive sheets via Paypal which never arrived. Tried to contact them multiple times but never got any answer. Resulting in a paypal claim. I hope to get my money back.

Update on this review
January 5, 2015

Update on this review- the business contacted me after receiving my BBB complaint. They offered to refund my money.

While I greatly appreciate this and they appear to care about their customers, I would make sure that you check on the printing options before you buy from their website. I'm struggling with a revised star rating. I originally gave this business one star. I'm now upping it to 3 stars because they did reach out to give me a refund, which is an above average outcome for an original bad experience.

Original review:
WARNING! You can't print music from this website without downloading a plug in which both Chrome and Firefox deemed insecure. I was unable to print out the music I paid for.

There was no warning that a download of a plugin would be required. I recommend using some other sheet music website. This one is a stinker. I've put in a complaint to the BBB.
