About Our Services

What is an arrangement? An arrangement can be done from existing sheet music for another instrumentation (such as from piano music to string quartet).  Often clients ask for a custom arrangement for a special event (such as a wedding) in order to get exactly what they want. 
What is a transcription?

Transcribing is done when there is no previously printed music, therefore a recording must be listened to carefully and the notes written down in order to create sheet music.  This can be done for original compositions, or a very popular piece that has never been published as sheet music.

For original works, the recording should be made using the best quality equipment and media available to the composer.   A muffled recording or ambient room noise will lengthen the time it takes to transcribe a piece.

What are your rates for arranging/transcribing? The rate for either arranging or transcribing is $20 per hour
