APRIL 2008 MUSIC JOURNAL - FEATURE

TUTTI.CO.UK by Impulse Music Consultants

Impulse Music Consultants partners, Geraldine Allen and Sarah Rodgers (both long-standing ISM members of the Performers and Composers Section, and Geraldine a past Warden of the Private Teachers Section) are known for their entrepreneurial outlook when it comes to getting classical musicians to take full advantage of opportunities on the web. Their online shop, tutti.co.uk, has been a successful outlet for sales of contemporary scores and CDs and 2008 sees this pioneering pair breaking new ground with their latest project to help composers and performers distribute their musical products worldwide. Geraldine writes:

tutti.co.uk will be celebrating its 8th anniversary this year. Over this time, tutti has achieved some impressive results for its 90 or so suppliers, many of whom are ISM Members, and has been acclaimed as one of the best-designed and most accessible webshops in the classical music sector:

‘a first-rate selling site for sheet music, CDs and music exam pieces.’ Andrew Stewart, Classical Music, July 2007

tutti was also featured on January 15th in the Culture section of the Sunday Times in an article about promoting contemporary classical music online. We have built our reputation on the service we give to our suppliers and customers and we have helped to forge links between composers, musicians and music-lovers in many parts of the globe. We are as passionate about tutti today as we were from day one and are committed to bringing classical music and especially the work of contemporary composers and performers to as wide a public as possible.
