In addition to the printed catalogue, Hal Leonard will now include LCME’s current and future digital publications in its expansive offerings. These digital titles will be accessible through all Hal Leonard e-commerce platforms and partner trade websites.
As part of this collaboration, Hal Leonard will also manage royalties and provide fulfilment services for LCME’s online store. This agreement further strengthens the relationship between the two organisations, who already work together on the Musical Theatre Handbooks and Popular Vocals syllabus. LCME titles are now available for immediate ordering through Hal Leonard.
“I’m delighted to announce this agreement between two of the leading global forces in music education. Everyone at Hal Leonard looks forward to enjoying closer ties with LCME, providing a market-leading physical and digital distribution network to ensure LCME titles are available globally. The LCME team has been a delight to work with so far, and it’s an honour to welcome them to the Hal Leonard family!”
