Alfred Music

Founded in the heart of New York’s Tin Pan Alley in 1922, Alfred Music has evolved from a small sheet music publisher into a global leader in music education. Originally focused on popular sheet music, the company transitioned in the 1950s to emphasize instructional materials, creating comprehensive educational series for instruments such as accordion, guitar, piano, and recorder. This shift marked the beginning of Alfred Music's transformation into a cornerstone of music learning, widely recognized for its high-quality methods and pedagogical resources.

Over the decades, Alfred Music expanded its reach both geographically and artistically. With headquarters now in Los Angeles and offices around the world, the company boasts over 150,000 active titles across genres and formats. Its portfolio includes instructional methods like Alfred’s Basic Piano Library and Sound Innovations, along with print rights to iconic film scores and songs by legendary artists and brands. Now operating alongside MakeMusic under the Peaksware Holdings umbrella, Alfred Music continues to innovate in music publishing and technology, supporting musicians at every stage of their journey.
