Music Preparation

Whether the project is live performance, publication, or recording session, clean and concise sheet music is critical to a successful session. As an arranger and orchestrator, I have written music for performances at concert halls around the world. I bring over a decade of experience working on sheet music preparation and engraving for projects big and small.

I do the majority of music preparation work in Finale and Dorico, but have also used the full Adobe Creative Suite as well. To speed up my workflow in these programs I run custom scripts and have created specialty TouchOSC templates.

Mock Ups & MIDI Sequencing

Do you need a demo of your score or for a project, film, or video game?

Using the latest sound engineering tools and virtual instruments, I can provide you with top quality realizations of orchestras, chamber groups, drumlines, rock bands, jazz bands, and much more.

Specialty Printing

Many parts and scores are prepared or printed on oversized paper. With a Konica Minolta commercial-grade printer, I have the ability to print and bind scores of all sizes. For sheet music I like to use 65lb (175gsm) – 80lb (120gsm), depending on the project needs and type.

Page Sizes: Letter (8.5 x 11), Legal (8.5 x 14), Concert (9 x 12 or 10 x 13), Tabloid (11 x 17)

Extras: coil binding, clear cover, black backing
