SERVICES
David is a freelance music arranger. While most of his arrangements are composed for contemporary a cappella groups (professional, collegiate, and high school), he is also commissioned to do projects for choirs, string ensembles, and piano. He has significant experience as a musician in each aforementioned medium.
New arrangements can be commissioned for a cappella groups, choirs, and small string ensembles. Archived arrangements are available for purchase at a discounted rate. Piano sheet music can be transcribed and/or transposed for singers who cannot find the sheet music or the appropriate key for a song they are performing. Accompaniment tracks can be recorded for personal rehearsal use.

OTHER ARRANGEMENTS
Because choral and string arrangements may differ greatly, each of these inquiries will be handled on a case-by-case basis. After discussing your vision for an arrangement, we can determine pricing, delivery time, and other details.
SHEET MUSIC (TRANSCRIPTION & TRANSPOSITION)
To have sheet music transcribed, send an mp3 file or YouTube link; to have sheet music transposed, send a PDF of your current music. All submissions will be given a free estimate, and final pricing will be determined based on the length and complexity of the song. No fee will be added for transcriptions that are desired in an alternate key. If you would like to have an accompaniment track recorded and delivered along with the sheet music, you may order one at a discounted rate.
ACCOMPANIMENT TRACKS
For accompaniment tracks, send a PDF of the music that you need to be recorded. All tracks will range from $10-$30 depending upon the length and complexity of the song. If you would like to order a track for sheet music that I transcribed or transposed, a discounted will be provided. Tempo and key changes can be made by request at no additional cost.
PAYMENT
PayPal or Venmo are the preferred forms of payment for all transactions. No payments should be made prior to consultation.
DELIVERY
A Cappella Arrangement (PDF with MIDI/mp3): 2 Weeks
Transcribed Sheet Music (PDF): 2 Weeks
Transposed Sheet Music (PDF): 1 Week
Accompaniment Tracks (mp3): 3 Days
The above times represent the maximum time for a delivery. There is always a chance that a project may be done early, but in the event of a delay due to extenuating circumstances, you will be notified as soon as possible. No product will be delivered prior to receipt of payment.
NOTES
I want all customers to be satisfied with their product. Do not hesitate to contact me with questions you have or tweaks you would like made in regard to your arrangement. I will gladly make adjustments free of charge. I desire to deliver nothing less than high quality work with which you are pleased.
If there is any concern about pricing, make it known. While I want all projects to be affordable, these are very specialized skills that have required years of practice and study to learn and develop (every class and private lesson had a monetary cost). Some arrangers have a base price upwards of $300, and transcribers often charge a minimum of $30 per hour. In comparison, I hope that you see the appeal of my prices.
Contact me with any additional questions or to inquire about a new project.
