Featured Composers for 2025–2026
J.W. Pepper is proud to support a wide and diverse community of composers through the My Score platform—a resource for independent publishers to share their original works through the world’s largest sheet music network.
Each month, we highlight a composer whose work exemplifies the creativity and dedication found throughout the My Score community. This month, in addition to congratulating Jill Gallina, Composer of the Month for October, we’re linking the public profiles of nine additional composers to showcase their musical backgrounds, compositional approaches, and recent works available through My Score!
