Featured Composers for 2025–2026
At J.W. Pepper, we’re committed to uplifting the work of today’s music creators, and we’re honored to champion the thriving community of independent composers who publish through My Score. Their catalogs open doors for performers and educators everywhere to discover and share new original music. Each month, we feature composers whose creativity and dedication embody the spirit of this community.
This March, we’re honored to feature Dan Miner as our Composer of the Month. Along with Dan, we’re showcasing nine other composers whose profiles reveal meaningful stories about their musical journeys, their craft, and the works they’ve recently added to My Score.
