SAVE TIME EDITING YOUR MUSIC.
HAVE MORE TIME TO COMPOSE.
Have you ever wanted to arrange one of your pieces, but you find yourself never having the time to complete it?
Have you ever had a piece that you’ve never been completely satisfied with how it looks on the page?
Do you have an extremely tight deadline for a commission, but you don’t have enough time to finish editing it?
As a composer, I know exactly how ALL of this feels and have often experienced each of these different scenarios. That’s why I offer these additional services; when you hire me, you’ll have more time to compose and more time to make your piece the best that it can possibly be!
MY SERVICES
-
Have you ever wanted to hear your orchestra music realized with a full wind ensemble, or vice versa? How about a string quartet fully realized for saxophone quartet? How about an educational work arranged entirely for flexible ensembles?
As an arranger, I believe that the possibilities for new versions of pre-existing works are limitless. Every piece should be maximized to its fullest potential and made accessible to the widest audience possible.
Whether it’s an arrangement, transcription, or orchestration, you are involved in every step of the process and you have final approval. It’s your music and your intellectual property!
*For questions regarding potential arrangements of third-party intellectual property (such as public domain works), please fill out the form at the bottom of this page to schedule a consultation. -
Let’s face it - editing scores and parts can be an extremely time-consuming process, especially when juggling multiple projects with tight deadlines all at once! The focus should strictly be on the composing process, not fighting the notation software program.
As an engraver, I provide immaculately detailed and clearly notated sheet music that conveys exactly what the composer wants and allows for more structured rehearsal time with the performers. Each project is strictly customized to the composer’s exact specifications and needs, directly engraved from a manuscript edition or edited from a notation file.You are involved in every step of the process and you have final approval. It’s your music and your intellectual property!

60-minute consultations may be scheduled for any of these services! I also provide a complimentary 20-minute discovery call at the beginning of the process for your proposed project.

The final materials Josh prepared for me are sleek, stylish, and beautifully formatted.”
