It is my pleasure to serve you. The table below provides general fees associated with composition and arranging services. A final fee will be determined based on the specific scope of each project and will be included in the signed agreement.
You might be thinking...is this a good deal? Here are some links for comparison:
- Meet the Composer - national organization promoting new music creation throughout the United States
- Impulse Music Consultants - online organization dedicated to promoting composers and their works (fees are per minute of music; a British Pound is worth more than a US dollar, so the listed fees per minute in Pounds would higher when converted to US dollars)
Orders must be placed a certain number of days in advance as indicated by this class structure: E-30 days, D-60 days, C-90 days, B-120 days, A-180 days
