Thank you for your interest in my work, and for stopping by to learn more! Please feel free to reach out if have any questions, comments, or if you are interested in commissioning a new work.
I'm excited to share three new releases for the year ahead!
Intrepid Fanfare (Grade 1.5) is an exciting, energetic piece that can be a great review piece for this fall, or a great introduction to new notes and accidentals for younger players later in the year.
On a Winter's Night (Grade 2.5) weaves together Away in a Manger and The First Noel, providing great opportunities for teaching expression, balance, and blend. Short on rehearsal time for your holiday concert? Check out this mature-sounding, yet accessible arrangement!
Looking for a ballad for your annual pops concert? Check out my new arrangement of I See the Light (Grade 3) from Disney's Tangled. This arrangement was written to be accessible to bands of all sizes. Ample doubling and cuing ensure the beautiful colors and fullness of the piece still shine, even if there are gaps in your instrumentation.
Be sure to check out the Concert Band page for a full list of all of my pieces!
FEATURED SELECTIONS
Brimming with excitement from the opening measures, this bold piece gives each section of the band opportunities to shine, while also expanding their playing ranges and their understanding of accidentals. The contrasting middle section of the piece also provides young players the opportunity to play with expressive phrasing and dynamics.

The popular carols "Away in a Manger" and "The First Noel" are woven together in this uniquely expressive arrangement. The piece begins serenely with Away in a Manger, and uses evolving interludes to gradually propel the piece toward a climactic statement of The First Noel.

This lush, expressive arrangement of "I See the Light" from Disney's Tangled has been written to be accessible to concert bands of all sizes with ample doubling and cuing. The moderate technical demands of this arrangement make it a great choice for younger ensembles or community bands with limited rehearsal time!
