I love receiving and responding to fan mail and since putting up my first cover in July 2012, have received many which i have treasured and have been much encouraged by them. I thank you all so very much for your praise, appreciation, suggestions, requests and support.
I thought it would be nice to share some of my favourite emails and comments here on the website. Of course I’ll keep all names anonymous, unless I’m given specific permission to reveal them. If you see your comment here and would rather it remain between the two of us, please let me know… I would totally understand and remove it without hesitation ok?
Please feel free to comment…and add to my favourite fanmail hehe! Oh yea…when you comment, do put something in the name box, otherwise wordpress treats it as spam :-p Thanks for reading my stuff 🙂
Joyce, Thank you so much for the free sheet music on k-drama OSTs. Looking forward to learning them. Please play some songs on youtube for The King Eternal Monarch. There are some sheet music out there but your arrangements are great and look forward to watching you play them!

Oh yeah, I had to remove them from my website, because the publishers came after me for copyright. That’s why I had to sell my sheets on musicnotes. This easy version, though, I haven’t sent to musicnotes yet, so if you email me at joycemusic1@gmail.com, I’ll send it to you.

Dear Ms. Joyce,
I really enjoy playing your arrangements. They give me the right amount of challenge, and it’s always a great feeling to master a piece. Thank you for sharing your beautiful music with us. I was wondering if I may make some requests? If you’re interested and have time, may I request if you could make covers for a few songs from the K-drama “Crash Landing on You”? They’re “Sigriswil,” “Photo of My Mind,” and “The Song for My Brother.” I would very much appreciate it! Keep up the fantastic work!
Sincerely,
Marion

Hi Joyce. I’ve been your fan since 2016. I like all the song in piano version from you. I love to hear the music piano version but I do not have the opportunity to learn the piano. Can I make a request from you? I’ve been trying to find Kim Jong Kook’s song with Lee Suhyun titled Addiction in piano version on YouTube. But I haven’t found anyone who covers this song on YouTube. May I ask you to play the piano version?

I guess you did copy the sheet and claimed it yours huh. You reply fast when the comment is positive but when it’s negative you ignore it.

And you make judgements when you haven’t got all the proof. Look at all my covers and arrangements on YouTube. I’m a professional, and a teacher. I’m fully qualified to make sheet music on my own. I have no need to copy other people’s work, and I have never done so. You should start accusing that other person instead. And give me that link! BTW, I didn’t reply quickly because I don’t have notifications on for WordPress. The app is hopeless, so I’ve uninstalled it from my phone.

This Anonymous is nasty! Making accusation just because some website is offering it free. It’s most like the other way round, copying Joyce’s work and making it free. And this person is making the accusation to pre-empt his action.

Yes, I’ve seen my arrangements on other websites as well as the Musescore community. I wrote to Musescore about it and they removed those sheets that I identified, but lately, I saw another one there. I decided not to make a fuss about that because I know not everyone can afford to buy the sheets, and I wish I could still help them. The other website though, put their name as arranger! I wrote to them asking them to remove the sheets, but they never did reply nor remove them. I also have seen my sheets on Scribd – without my permission or credit. But again, I won’t be asking them to remove it…. I guess that happens when one creates music which is quite popular haha 😊.

Please tell me what website that is. The sheets are really mine. All my covers have original sheets by me. I used to give them out free, until the publishers/record companies came after me for copyright. That’s why I had to partner with musicnotes.com to license my arrangements and sell them legally. Whoever posted my sheets on that website, have actually done so illegally, and without my permission. I’m very upset about that. So please send me the link.

Hi Joyce! I am one of your big fans. You have inspired me to keep on playing piano with your arrangements. I have downloaded your free music scores before and I am still downloading the pieces even I have to purchase them. Whenever I finish a piece, it gives me a feeling of accomplishment. I am a mother of four and I play piano at home as a hobby. It makes my children happy whenever they hear me playing a movie theme song.
I would like to make a request if you could please arrange the theme song for the Endgame movie. Thank you very much and more power.

I feel bad that your music sheets are now priced. I have downloaded many of your sheets before but now I can’t because it is now in musicnotes and all in there are paid. I used to adore your sheets because the transcription of songs doesn’t go far from the original melodies. May I request that the old music sheets of yours be free because my phone has been corrupted and the free sheets I have downloaded are gone.😭 Please just make the old sheets free☹️ those sheets that you made before you’ve partnered with musicnotes. Thank you

I only partnered with musicnotes because the music producers came after me, saying they’d take legal action if I didn’t stop distributing the sheets without licensing fee 😞. And now, according to my contract with musicnotes, I’m not allowed to distribute (sell or give away) anything that I arrange – they have exclusive rights.
There has been no mention of midi files, though. So if you email me at joycemusic1@gmail.com, with a list of midi files that you’d like, I’ll send them to you. Would that be ok?

I understand☺️ Sorry for the late reply.
