Want to get your music ready for publication, performance, or production? I'm here to help! Services I do: -Music transcription: I turn your audio recording into music notation or MIDI -Formatting: I optimize your music score for print - including part design, proofreading/cross-checking, etc. -Arranging: I rebuild your music for a different source - rewriting an orchestral piece for piano solo, rewriting a pop song for string quartet, or adding harmonies to an existing melody, for example -MIDI programming: Authentic MIDI files for piano parts, drum parts, synth parts, etc. that you can put right in your productions. Complete with velocities, pitch bends, mod wheel automation, etc. where practical. -Synthesia tutorials: You've seen those cool videos where the notes fly down to the keyboard? I can make those. -Editing: not confident you've composed everything the best way? I can make subtle tweaks to bring out your creative voice in the most authentic manner...or simply just proofread it for accuracy. -Production: In case all those little bits are not of use to you...I can put it all together in a single mixdown. Deliverables include, but are not limited to: -Lead sheets & songbooks -Piano solo books -Piano/vocal scores -Drum set parts -Jazz solo transcriptions -Musical theatre scores (this one's a particular passion) -Full set of score and parts for ensemble: orchestra, big band, pit band, etc. -Audio demonstrations (mp3/wav) -MIDI files -Syncing with video (score follow-along videos, for example) -Source files: Finale, Sibelius, MuseScore, Logic, Garageband, iMovie, Final Cut Pro I am a professional performing and teaching piano player, and I also play a little guitar/bass on the side. I was a drummer in a past life. I spend plenty of time in pop music, musical theatre, jazz, orchestral music...anything and everything.

I have 25 years of music performance, composition, and audio production experience with most of it stemming from my involvement with congregational worship music in Tucson area churches. I am an avid user of the Logic Pro X and Propellerhead Reason digital audio workstations as well as a multi-instrumentalist who plays acoustic, electric, and bass guitars as well as keyboards. I served as the primary Music Leader for the contemporary worship ministry at Immanuel Presbyterian Church for 10 years and also develop accompaniment worship loops for purchase at LoopCommunity.com. I look forward to leveraging all of these skill-sets to assist you with your audio endeavors.
