CUSTOM  ARRANGEMENTS

Experience

I’ve arranged music in a variety of genres and am comfortable writing for soloists or any combination of instruments or voices.  Past arranging projects include:

​

  • Writing simplified versions of songs for beginning piano students

  • Adding an orchestration to a choral piece

  • Adding piano accompaniment to an a cappella song

  • Arranging well-known tunes for instrumental trios, quartets, and quintets

  • Creating a unique version of a Spiritual, patriotic song, or holiday favorite

  • Customizing a piece for musicians at a wedding or funeral service

  • Working with LGBTQ+ choruses to arrange music for their unique voicings

Pricing

The price of a custom arrangement varies, depending on the number of parts, the length, overall complexity, and the timeline for completion.

​

For a standard-length (2-4 min.) piece, pricing starts at $50 per staff.  Instruments like piano and harp are considered 2-staff instruments.  For choral parts, sometimes two parts can share a staff (Soprano/Alto), but in more complex pieces each part may need its own staff.

​

I usually need 2 weeks to complete a small arranging project and 1 month to complete a medium or large project.  There may be an additional fee if you need your piece completed in less time.

​

I can lower the fee for writing arrangements that I think could be re-sold to a broader customer base.

I look forward to talking with you about your project and how I can help!
