Additional Resources
I started this blog after being inspired by the efforts of musicians such as Heather Roche, Anne Lanzilotti, and Andrew Hugill. If you’ve enjoyed this blog, definitely explore their work!
Also, I’m not by any means an expert engraver. If you can, I’d highly recommend purchasing Elaine Gould’s Behind Bars to get the best results on your editing adventures.
