Music Theatre International

Senior Music Specialist  
April 2023 - Present

As a Senior Music Specialist for MTI, my work may sound a lot like Music Copying and Library Management. Specializing in Finale, Sibelius, and Dorico notation softwares, my responsibilities include creating vocal books, formatting and revising scores and parts, and performing various music editing tasks. I also ensure the accuracy of our music materials by proofreading scores and orchestrations, identifying and correcting errors, and preparing reprints. Additionally, I oversee the concert library, extracting new songs, collaborating with customers to meet their specific needs, and maintaining the library’s organization.

Music Customer Support Librarian 
April 2022 - March 2023

My first role at MTI, I provided comprehensive support to customers and internal departments. I handled inquiries, assisted with materials, and contributed to the department’s overall efficiency through strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction. My expertise in music notation software and my knowledge of musical theatre industry standards enabled me to deliver high-quality support and ensure accurate and timely responses.
