Arranging

Bringing your original music to life

Maybe you have song lyrics written on the back of a napkin and need the music realized? Maybe you want your favorite song arranged for your ensemble? I take ideas in any form — a voice memo, scribbled chord symbols, a rough sketch — and turn them into clean, performance-ready notation orchestrated for your singers and instrumentalists.

Sketching ideas

From sketch to score

Lyrics, melodies, or recordings notated and arranged in Sibelius.

Custom instrumentation

Arranged for your ensemble

Existing songs re-voiced for your instrumentation — SATB, strings, woodwinds, bands.

Print-ready output

Publication-ready files

Engraved scores and parts delivered as print-ready PDFs, with rehearsal tracks to help.

Creative improvisation

Improvise from the heart

Viewing only

Explore spontaneous music-making at the piano or with your ensemble — creative, freeing, and personal.
