Alfred produces educational, reference, pop, and performance materials for teachers, students, professionals, and hobbyists spanning every musical instrument, style, and diffi culty level. Alfred’s home offi ce is located in Los Angeles with other US offi ces in Miami and New York as well as offi ces around the world, including Australia, Germany, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. Alfred Music Publishing was founded in New York, in 1922, by composer and musician Alfred Piantodosi. His modest Tin Pan Alley pop song catalogue included such hits as “Waiting for the Robert E. Lee” and “Ragtime Cowboy Joe” - songs that still generate revenue for the company today. In 1928, the company was acquired by Sam Manus, a violinist who provided background music for silent fi lms. Sam’s son, Morty, and Morty’s wife, Iris, began working for the company during the 1950s. Inspired by the need for quality music education products, Morty oversaw the development of a series of instrumental instruction books which were to become the company’s staple products. Alfred developed signifi cantly over the next decade and eventually outgrew its New York headquarters. In 1975, the main offi ce was relocated to Los Angeles, and the distribution centre was moved to northern New York State. Morty’s sons Steven and Ron joined the company in the 1980s. While continuing to develop the world’s leading instructional methods and performance music, they also expanded Alfred into the international market by establishing branches in Australia, Germany, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. In 2005, Alfred purchased Warner Bros. Publications, acquiring certain rights to Warner/Chappell Music, Inc. and the EMI Catalogue Partnership. Through this deal, Alfred gained the print rights of legendary publishers such as M. Witmark & Sons, Remick Music Corp., and T.B. Harms, Inc. Among the EMI holdings are the Robbins and Leo Feist catalogues, plus fi lm music from United Artists, MGM, and 20th Century Fox. As of 2010, Alfred’s catalogue includes over 90,000 currently active titles representing a wide range of well-known publications - from methods such as Alfred’s Basic Guitar, Alfred’s Basic Piano Library, Premier Piano Course, Sound Innovations, and Suzuki, to artists like The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Van Halen, Green Day, Michael Jackson, Sheryl Crow, Eagles, Cole Porter, and George & Ira Gershwin, and brand names such as Star Wars, Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. Now in its third generation of family leadership, Alfred is led by CEO Ron Manus and backed by a talented management team in seven offi ces worldwide. Under Ron’s leadership, Alfred has continued to expand, acquiring rights to ABKCO, S-1 and Warner Bros. Studios. Alongside this growth, forward-thinking has lead to the recent announcement of the fi rst-ever customisable instrumental methods Sound Innovations for Concert Band and Sound Innovations for String Orchestra, and our passion for protecting the environment has driven the company to begin printing books on 100% recycled paper. In the United Kingdom (and throughout the EU), Alfred is distributed by FM Distribution, the distribution arm of Faber Music.
