Transcription

I can accurately transcribe your favorite song, arrangement, or improvised solo, and render it in Sibelius 5, the leading music notation program.  I have an excellent ear.  I can extract lead lines, inner voices, all harmonies and chord symbols, and give you a publication-quality printout.  I can supply anything from a quick, simple lead sheet to a full band arrangement.

Musical Services

I am available as a substitute pianist for your band or gig.  I am an excellent sight reader and can work with sketchy charts.  I can also learn parts from tapes and CDs, transpose to your key, and play by ear.  I have equipment and transportation.

I also play clarinet and soprano saxophone.
