Arranging

What is a music arranger?

* music arrangers create and arrange music for films, television shows, and concerts.
* Composers and music arrangers compose and arrange many styles of music. They may specialize in classical, jazz, or popular music.
* They write and arrange music for symphonies, jazz ensembles, and singers.
* They create music for advertising on radio and television.
* Use melody, harmony, and tempo to create unique pieces.
* Sometimes they copy parts from a score for an individual performer or a group of instruments.
* Some composers and arrangers use computer software to produce scored music.

Music arrangers take existing music and adapt it for various instruments, groups, and styles. For example, a music arranger could change a piece of music originally composed for a symphony orchestra. They may turn it into a piece that can be played by a band that does not have stringed instruments. The arranger decides which notes are to be played by each instrument. Music arrangers also transpose music from one voice to another to meet the needs of the performer. A vocal arrangement can be changed to a different key by a music arranger so the vocalist is able to reach all the notes.

Custom made arrangements, medleys etc. can be catered for on request. We can also prepare Arrangements/Backing Tapes for students taking the ANZCA exams.
