       Whether transcribing music from its recording or working from a score, I adapt to any ensemble with creative orchestration and unique stylistic interpretations. I have experience arranging all types of music in many different genres. I can arrange, transcribe, transpose, rewrite, revoice, and otherwise edit music to fit your  needs. For marching ensembles, I write for woodwinds, brass, synthesizers, pit percussion, and battery percussion.

I Work on YOUR Timeline, So That You Have Great Performances!
