Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I buy your music?

Digital copies of every piece in my catalog are available here on this website! Printed copies of all chamber works are available through Just A Theory Press. Selected works can also be ordered through print music retailers.

I'm interested in commissioning a new work. How does this work?

Thank you for your interest in collaborating! I am not currently accepting any new commission projects. If/when this changes, I will make an announcement on this website, in my email newsletter, and on social media.

Do you offer workshops for school/community groups?

Yes! I am happy to work with middle school, high school, college/university, and community music ensembles/classes virtually (worldwide) and in person (Canada only). Please contact me to request a visit.

Where can I submit concert/recital programs?

Please send programs, info, and/or recordings from your concert or recital to music@caitnishimura.com. This is a very helpful thing performers and conductors can do to support living composers, because we can use this information to collect royalties from SOCAN/ASCAP. Thank you to everyone who has supported in this way!

Am I allowed to create and share a video performance of your music?

Yes! I am happy to grant permission for individuals, schools, and community ensembles to create virtual recordings/performances of my music. Please credit me as the composer in any written details about the performance, and please share the file or link with me so I can watch and listen! 

For mechanical/synchronization rights to my music for larger scale or professional projects, please send an email to music@caitnishimura.com.

Can we include your music in our marching band show?

Yes, and I encourage you to work with me directly to obtain a license to arrange (as opposed to using a third party service). Please send an email to music@caitnishimura.com with your school/ensemble info and which piece(s) you're hoping to use, and I'll get back to you with next steps.

Do you have merchandise available?

Yes! T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, and mugs can be purchased on my Bonfire shop. Stickers are available for purchase right here!

When were you born? (often needed for program info)

I was born in 1991!
