About Sol-Ut Press

Sol-Ut Press is a small company (created, owned, and operated by Jonathan Harnum) which specializes in publishing quality music education materials.

Sol-Ut Press was created to help as many people as possible enjoy and participate in music by developing and publishing quality, user-friendly music education materials. We have given away over 380,000 free book files since going online in 2001. Why?

Why Sol-Ut Exists

Music is a birthright, and whether you believe it or not, we are all musical to some degree. If you don't agree, read John Blacking's How Musical is Man and you'll probably change your mind. Music is one of the most joyous and cathartic things we can do, and one of the missions of Sol-Ut Press is to help people experience music more deeply by understanding it better.

In pursuit of this goal Sol-Ut Press makes its books available in their entirety for free as a PDF file downloadable from this web site. We have given away over 500,000 PDFs since 2001.

About Our Logo

Sol, in addition to a name for our sun, is also the fifth note of the diatonic Major scale. Ut is an ancient name (the French still use it) for the note "Do," the tonic. The musical interval of Sol to Do (Ut) establishes the tonal center for most Western music.
