Helpful staff and return policy

I appreciate not only the associate's professionalism and kindness, but also your return policy. My church decided against using this arrangement, and being able to return the unused copies is most appreciated. I'll be sure to turn toJW Pepper in the future.

Having sound files helped a lot in selecting music. Only issue was not being able to adjust print size on the parts.

At Your Fingertips

JWPepper makes ordering easy by having everything available at your fingertips. They have so many pieces that are perfect for my students and having the accompaniment mp3 allows me to conduct and be WITH the students rather than having to sit behind the piano and play. Thank you for all you do to allow my students' a wonderful musical experience.

Ultimately satisfied

Ultimately satisfied. I would give 5 stars but one shipment was missing two copies of the sheet music I ordered. I had to contact a customer service representative, who fixed the problem with minimum effort on my part.
