Arranging

I love getting my hands into the works of brilliant composers and seeing how they were put together and then recreating their essence with different instruments. So whether you're looking for a reduction of a score, or an entirely different arrangement for a work, this is work that I revel in doing!

I can take on arranging projects at most points in my calendar, so please reach out at any time if you'd like to hire me.
For pricing, I begin with basing my rates on the recommendations of the Canadian League of Composers, and from there we can negotiate. At this time I do my own copying, and I prefer to charge hourly clerical fees ($25/hour) as I feel this is more fair to both parties. Please also feel welcome to tell me your budget for commissioning. Negotiating is hard to do without all the necessary information.

Please contact me to inquire about hiring me as an arranger or to ask to see examples of my past work.
