- If you’re new to my channel, my name is Saad Haddad. I'm here to dispel a bunch of myths about the field of classical composition, show you some things I've learned over the years, and bring you casual interviews with world-class composers.

How I got here...
7 yrs old: Inspired by a book about Mozart, I knew I wanted to become a composer.
15 yrs old: Joined the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s Composer Fellowship Program, mentored by Steven Stucky.
22 yrs old: Earned my B.M. in Composition from USC, studying under Donald Crockett, Stephen Hartke, Frank Ticheli, and Bruce Broughton.
24 yrs old: Completed my M.M. at Juilliard under John Corigliano.
29 yrs old: Named Composer-in-Residence at the California Symphony.
30 yrs old: Graduated with a D.M.A. from Columbia University and joined their faculty.
31 yrs old: Premiered “Aysheen” with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.
Today: I have a growing catalog of compositions that have been performed in North and South America, Europe, and Asia. These works include pieces for orchestra, chamber ensemble, vocalists, soloists, and electronics. I also teach hundreds of students every year, in both private and group settings.
If you love to compose as much as I do, then you’ll never stop doing it.
Printing and binding music scores is normally a huge hassle. In this video, I share with you my (relatively) simple process of printing and binding music scores. I am using the 11"x17" Tabloid size, or A3 if you live outside the US, in this demonstration. You can apply this method for any size paper.

Your timing is on another level. I was just talking with my wife about printing and coiling my scores for an upcoming performance! 😁
the algorithm gods are in your favor!
You are honestly an inspiration. Such amazingly helpful content.
As I always say, nothing like a printing and binding video to get the compositional juices flowing
This video is worth it's weight in 70 lb paper 😂
Subscribed. I'm trying to make my name as a composer as well. Nice work Saad!
Welcome 🙏🏽
Great instructional video...I feel the same way about needing to feel the tangible hard copy of a score I have to say, I have attempted the coiling process before and you made it look SO much easier than what I went through!!! I guess it's a matter of paying for the better quality tools to do the job, etc, although, you obviously have alot of practice under your belt with this...any chance the 'display model' of Aysheen could be purchased at a discount?
It definitely takes a little time in the beginning but ive saved a lot in the long run - right now no Aysheen isn’t available and I haven’t thought through how to “package” study scores vs. conductor scores. Depends if there is enough broader interest. Not sure how keen folks are to purchase Haddad study scores for Christmas 🤣🤣🤣
@@saadhaddadmusic The demand may not be as much as it should be, but I would put one on my Xmas list!
Amazing video Saad! I could have used this as a college student :)
Same 😆
Thank You!
🙏🏽
Have you thought about switching to Dorico?
Yes 🤣
Should the weight of the paper be different for a piano score?
I think at least 24lb paper should do the trick.
@ thanks so much!!
What notation software do you use and how does it work for aleatoric music?
Sibelius / Dorico, video on those techniques pending
A few years ago I tried to donate some of my string quartets to the University of California, Santa Barbara music library. They refused. Claimed that they would not take anything spiral bound.
They were the only library that refused. Strange.
I haven’t had any experiences like that before but this is mainly intended for performances and submitting hard copies for contests and university applications
Great! Could you do a video on front matter please? Maybe you already have one lol
It’s on the list 😝
But regardless I suggest you look at scores online there are a lot of great examples that don’t necessarily need a video from me 🤣
Just finished a class on this in college.This process can be grueling if you dont do it properly😅
Absolutely 😅
There are some professional printers that will do the printing and binding for you. For a price, of course. I like Black Ribbon.
Yep absolutely. I just like to do everything in house.
