I’ve been interested in writing for young band for quite some time and recently wrote a grade two arrangement of my sax quartet Snowfall. I have some rudimentary ideas for both of these pieces and am most excited to explore different harmonic options. I believe incorporating scale modes, common-tone chords, and extended harmonies will give the pieces a unique sound without significantly increasing the difficulty level, and will be interesting and engaging for young students. I also have a handful of potential titles that consortium members can vote on, or suggest their own entirely.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions! If you’re interested in joining, you can fill out this short Google Form. Payments can be made online through paypal or via check.
