"I have used Lisa Parrott (Pro Music Copying) extensively for transposing music and even for transcribing a song that is no longer in print from a CD. Lisa does beautiful, accurate, thorough work. She follows instructions to the letter and does a quick turnaround with her jobs. I continue to use her and would be happy to answer any inquiries regarding her many talents." - Lynn Henderson (singer, Hudson Valley NY)

"Lisa did a wonderful job for me on a piano/vocal transcribing/copying project a while back. She was very responsive throughout the process, attentive to the project's specific needs and even provided helpful options for the final layout.
