Services

If you are interested in commissioning original music and/or arrangements, hiring me as an orchestrator, musical director, musician, teacher or copyist, starting a collaboration or have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Artistic Composition

Need a new work for your professional recital, concert, theatre work or project? Want your school or university ensemble to play something fresh and original? Whether writing for professional musicians or educational ensembles, my expertise ranges from concertos to site-specific pieces to musicals to ambient, electronic soundscapes - all styles and difficulty levels. Commission rates are negotiable depending on the length of the work (in minutes), and how many instruments/channels you require.

Arrangement, Transcription, Orchestration, Copyist

Want a YouTube link or recording put into sheet music for your band? Need a creative and original arrangement of a song you love? Have an existing arrangement that needs to be re-orchestrated for your specific ensemble? Need someone to proofread and tidy your score? I’ve got you covered - whether it’s a big band, choir, orchestra, mixed instrumentations - whatever you need! Enquire within for a quote.
