The short answer is no.

The longer answer is this: We receive so many orders every day, it would be impossible for us to constantly re-distribute music. Plus, you are paying for a certain number of initial printed copies, not for endless access.

My music is constantly changing and I'm always adding new things such as harmony, simplified scores, instrumental scores etc. It's not feasible to replace a song purchased 5 years ago (bought at a much cheaper price) with today's same group bundle that offers so much more.

When performing, a minimum of 2 copies of music should be purchased: one for a performer and one for a pianist. We no longer sell single copies of sheet music.

Most people want simplified sheet music (with the melody in the accompaniment) to use in their schools or primary groups. I love having this version available for use, but I found that people were purchasing the simplified music as a solo (1-2 copies) and then breaking copyright by making a lot of copies for their group.

If you want the simplified music, it's likely you're planning to teach it to a children's group. If you're teaching to a children's group, please buy the group bundle and then you'll have the simplified music. :)

The Group Bundle is the best deal for your money. It includes the following items:

1) The right to make up to 5 copies of the sheet music

2) The right to teach this song to a group (as opposed to a solo for personal use only)

3) Harmony (most songs)

4) Simplified sheet music (most songs)

5) Both the audio and accompaniment track recordings. You have the right to use these as needed with your group, but please do not share the files outside of your group.

Solos are not eligible to purchase additional copies of music.

If you need additional copies and you have purchased a GROUP BUNDLE you can go here to order extra copies for $1.00/copy.

If you need additional copies of an SATB choral piece, please email us and we can help you.

It depends on what technology/device you have. I will do my best to give you clear directions, but unfortunately, I can’t predict how your particular technology setup will act. But here are the basic instructions:

First of all, you will have a much better chance of success if you download the music (whether sheet music or recordings) to a computer, not to a mobile device. In general, mobile devices (especially iPhones) are not very download friendly. Next: I have given you multiple download attempts in case you have problems downloading. These multiple attempts don’t give you the right to make more copies than you have paid for, or to share downloads with anyone else.

 Here’s how to download: 

After you have placed your order, a thank you page will appear. Click “Download Now” on that page. Your file(s) should come up immediately. On many computers, the file(s) will automatically be downloaded to your default download directory. If that happens, then you’re done! If that doesn’t happen, the files will just open on your computer. In that case, click on “File” then “Save.” A pop-up box will appear that allows you to choose where to save the file on your computer. Choose a preferred location and click “Save.”

If you’re unable to download successfully, please contact me by clicking on Contact in the main menu. Make sure you tell me what product you ordered. I’ll help you get the downloads an alternate way. I try to respond within 24 hours, and almost always within 48. 

I used to offer physical songbooks, but it was so costly to have them printed and shipped that I stopped doing it. I would have to charge a fortune just to make it worthwhile and I didn't think that seemed fair to the customer.

Every so often I will offer digital songbooks, and occasionally I will have a limited time edition of a physical songbook. But that's really rare.

I also discovered people were purchasing the songbook and then making copies for their entire school/primary/stake to use from one songbook. In the end it was a whole lot of work for hardly any profit.

I don't charge these fees at this time. If you order the correct music needed for your group from my website (and don't make more copies than that) you have my permission to perform the song you have ordered. This includes worship services that are streamed online.

If feasible, I would really appreciate attribution for the song. The name of the song by Shawna Edwards is sufficient, like this: "The Miracle by Shawna Edwards"

Here are the steps to be able to do that: 

1. Do not change the lyrics or the music. Please stay true to the way I wrote it.

2. Obviously, implied in the permission to perform any of my music and post an online video, is the requirement to legally purchase the number of copies you will be making.

3. Please give me attribution in both the video title and embedded at the beginning of the video: "Name of Song," written by Shawna Edwards. Also, if you would link to my website in the description, that would be great - this way: https://shawnaedwardsmusic.com

4. When you have finished creating your video, and before you post it, I request that you send the link to my email: shawna@shawnaedwardsmusic.com for my approval. I approve almost all videos. 

5. You should know that I have no control over YouTube's algorithm for flagging videos for copyright. They occasionally and sporadically flag videos that use my music, whether it's the original or a cover. You should also know that there are no repercussions for that unless I ask YouTube to take it down. I rarely do that, and would only consider doing that if the above policies were not followed, or if the song was used in a degrading or obscene manner.

Yes. Right now, I do not require an extra license to do that.

I would appreciate, if possible, if you or the person who is conducting your worship service, would give me attribution by adding "written by Shawna Edwards" after announcing the name of the song.

Yes, for most videos, I can send you a downloadable link. Then you can play it straight off your computer. I charge $10 to do that. I'm not set up on my website to accept money for that, so if you want a downloadable link for a music video, please contact me using the contact option in the main menu. I will respond to your email with instructions for payment, and as soon as you have paid, I'll email the video link. 

*I trust that you will never send that video link to anyone else, as that would be a violation of copyright. Anyone else who wants a personal copy can go through the process above to get it.
