NYC Music Services is owned and operated by Philip Rothman, a Juilliard-trained composer and orchestrator with decades of experience preparing quality materials for professional clients in the music industry. Philip founded NYC Music Services in 2007 with a mission to provide the industry’s best music service to professional clients. Since that time, NYCMS has prepared thousands of projects in all musical genres, and is the publishing agent for some of today's leading composers, providing music licensing, printing, shipping, and on-demand fulfillment services.

Our Manhattan location gives us quick access to New York’s top performance and recording venues, making it easy to print and messenger materials same-day, or you can pick them up from us. Of course, we serve clients located anywhere and can ship worldwide, or provide print-ready materials according to your specifications for you to print elsewhere.

We are fully proficient in music notation software and work directly with the software companies to keep on top of the latest developments. Philip has served on the faculty of the NYU/ASCAP Film Scoring Workshop, lecturing on music preparation and orchestration, and he has presented seminars at Juilliard, Manhattan School of Music, The New School, Berklee, and MOLA (Association of Performance Librarian) conferences. He’s also the program and music advisor to The Aaron Copland Fund for Music, for whom he’s prepared new editions of Copland’s most often-performed compositions.
