As an orchestrator, arranger, and copyist, I have prepared music ranging in style from opera to Mariachi, and my work has been performed at Carnegie Hall. I have created custom orchestral reductions of opera scenes for New York's Pacific Encore Performances repertory company—including all the instrumental accompaniments for the company's ongoing film projects—and have prepared music for the Longmont (CO) and Whatcom (WA) Symphony Orchestras, as well as and singers from the Metropolitan Opera. I have also arranged in a variety of genres for the Mother Goose Club children's nursery rhyme website. Singers frequently commission me to create cuts and transpositions of songs for auditions and recitals, as well as large-scale arrangements for theatrical performances. I have worked with forces ranging from solo instruments to full orchestra, am committed to the quality, accuracy, and integrity of my work, and dedicated to creating consistently imaginitive, colorful, and tasteful arrangements.

I am currently at work on a series of transcriptions of opera arias and orchestral songs for piano and six instruments, providing singers the experience of performing these works with instrumental support and color, even when it is not practical to assemble an orchestra. Please contact me for more information on this project.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Do you do all your work digitally?
  

  Yes, I use Sibelius notation software exclusively, which—in addition to creating beautiful scores—allows me to deliver my clients' projects either in print or electronically as PDF files. Working digitally also enables me check for errors with speed and accuracy, ensuring that my clients can focus on making music without worrying about mistakes in their parts.
  

• If I need a 16-bar cut of a song for an audition, can you give me a practice track to sing along with?
  

  Absolutely! I can make either an MP3 or a MIDI file for you to play at home or on your iPod.
  

• What are your rates?
  

  It all depends on the nature of the project and the client's budget, but it usually comes down to a price per page. I always make it a priority to establish a fee that my clients can feel good about, while at the same time allowing me to do my best work. Please contact me for more details.
