CUSTOM ARRANGEMENTS
The Right Music Changes Everything
Music doesn’t just accompany a moment, it shapes it. The right arrangement can elevate a scene, define a brand, move an audience, or make a memory last. Getting there requires more than a good ear. It requires someone who understands music at a structural level and knows how to deliver a finished, professional product. That’s what I bring to every arrangement project.
Professional Credentials
I bring a Master’s in Music Composition and decades of experience writing, performing, and recording at a professional level, I approach every project with the same rigor I’d apply to my own work. My focus is to provide you with a faithful recreation of existing music or a full reimagination of a project from the ground up and I’ll work with you to fulfill that vision
What's Included
- Consultation on style, tone, and direction for the piece
- Source material analysis: identifying what's essential vs. what can be reimagined
- Song form and structure evaluation, including reharmonization where appropriate
- Instrument and tonal choices suited to the character of the piece
- Arrangement delivered with notation and/or tablature
Custom Arrangements, Built Around Your Vision.
Every arrangement starts with the same question: what does this piece need to be? From there, I handle the rest — style, tone, structure until it sounds exactly right.

MUSIC ARRANGEMENT FAQ
What formats do you deliver arrangements in?
I will provide both sheet music and if you use Finale I will include the that file as well. For guitar, I will also include my tablature for recommended fret placement.
Will you transcribe existing pieces?
Yes, but they may only be used for personal use and it may not be sold commercially.
How much does music arrangement cost?
That depends on the project. You can expect around $35 per minute for a simple arrangement. For anything beyond that, I prefer to understand your project to give you a realistic and reasonable quote.
What is your turn around time?
This will depend on the complexity and the size of the piece. As a professional musician this may also depend on my current touring schedule.
What instruments can you arrange?

What do you need to get started?
The more context the better. I’ll be looking at the style or treatment you’re going for, and any reference points that capture the vibe you’re after. Faithful recreation and full reimagination are both valid approaches, and knowing which direction you want helps from the start.
What software do you use?
I use Finale to create most arrangements. For guitar, I can also provide the arrangement using Guitar Pro.
What styles do you arrange for?
As a professional music and conservatory training, I can arrange for just about any style of music.
