Sheet Music Plus, also known as SheetMusicPlus.com, is an online retailer of sheet music located in Emeryville, CA. They were founded in 1995 by Nicholas Babchuk. Since 2009 the CEO is Jenny Silva.
Sheet Music Plus offers the world's largest selection of sheet music, with more than 1 million titles across multiple genres, including classical, jazz, blues, rock, opera, bluegrass, pop, country, choral, concert band, Latin music and R&B. They work with over 1,000 publishers, including all major European publishers. Sheet Music Plus is active in the music community and hires musicians when possible.
Sheet Music Plus is a pioneer in the world of both printed and digital sheet music. Their Digital Print service offers sheet music titles that are available to print instantly. They currently offer over 250,000 digital print titles from a variety of publishers, including Hal Leonard and Alfred Music.
In 2013 the company introduced a new service, Digital Print Publishing, which offers independent composers and arrangers the ability to publish and sell their music digitally in the online catalog. Composers earn 45% commission for their titles and gain worldwide exposure. Sheet Music Plus has published over 25,000 titles digitally from independent publishers.
In 1995 Nick Babchuk founded MusicianStore.com, a self-run pilot website, on the 1300 block of Pacific Ave. in San Francisco, CA. At this time they sold guitar strings, drum heads and musician's accessories in addition to sheet music. According to former CEO Keith Cerny, the company was "profitable from almost the very beginning". As demand for sheet music became apparent along with advantages of shipping printed material the name was changed to Sheet Music Plus. In 2005 the warehouse was moved from San Francisco to its present location in Emeryville, CA. The new 25,000 sq. ft. warehouse allowed for more space as well as better access to shipping routes. Sheet Music Plus currently offers over 30,000 in-stock titles, ready to ship within 24 hours.
