ShareAlike is a philosophy that encourages collaboration and sharing of creative works, particularly in the realm of classical music. This approach allows composers, musicians, and enthusiasts to freely share their interpretations and recordings, fostering a sense of community and innovation within the genre. By adopting a ShareAlike model, artists can release their music under licenses that permit others to use, modify, and redistribute their work, ensuring that classical music remains a living, evolving art form.

  For non-profit organisations focused on classical music, the ShareAlike concept can be incredibly beneficial. These charities can create platforms where musicians donate their performances or compositions, allowing listeners to download free music while supporting the charitable cause. This model not only helps maintain the vibrancy of classical music but also serves to engage audiences who may not otherwise have access to such cultural treasures.

  While donations remain optional within the ShareAlike framework, many listeners choose to contribute in support of these charities, recognising the value of the music and the impact their contributions can have. This harmonious relationship between artist and audience encourages a healthy ecosystem where artistic expression thrives alongside philanthropy, all underpinned by shared values and mutual respect.

  Ultimately, the ShareAlike approach presents a unique opportunity in the classical music sphere. It enables diverse interpretations to coexist while cultivating a culture of giving and community support. By embracing this model, I aim to ensure that my contribution to the classical guitar repertoire can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of their financial situation, while also empowering charitable efforts dedicated to preserving and promoting this timeless art form.

  All of my compositions and arrangements are free to download from IMSLP. There you can download the clean score versions shown on this website in pdf format. The performance editions which include full fingerings and expressions will soon be available to buy online. In keeping with the ShareAlike approach I am making every option available to download for free, donate or buy.
