Hello and welcome!

Other projects I have
contributed to recently:
• |
Succeeding
at the Piano®
This is a beautiful new series of piano method books
written by Helen Marlais and published by The FJH
Music Company. I have written nearly 100 string
quartet arrangements that are found on the play-along
CDs in each level. I have also arranged and produced
hundreds of accompaniments tracks for student use. |
• |
Measures
of Success®
An instrumental method book published by The FJH
Music Company. Each volume has three compact discs
of accompaniment material. I arranged, produced,
and recorded hundreds of these tracks. |

Jon
Anderson
I've been working for vocalist Jon Anderson (from
the band Yes) for several years as an arranger
and orchestrator. I've done a handful of orchestra
arrangements for live and recorded use.
Jon is also a guest on the recent CD by Wave
Mechanics Union.
Jon's most recent CD, Survival
and Other Stories, features one of my orchestral
arrangements. |

FJH
Instrumental Catalog Recordings
I'm producing band, orchestra, and jazz recordings
for FJH - dozens of titles per year. Bigger sessions
are tracked at The
Lodge in Indianapolis, smaller sessions at my
studio. |
| • |
Orchestra Mock-ups
In 2013, I'll be launching www.orchestra-mockups.com. |
| • |
And lots of other fun stuff too.
I'm very busy with the above projects, so I tend
to be selective about other work I accept. (And
feel lucky to be so). If you'd like to talk about
commissioning a new work, an arrangement, or anything
else, please contact me.
