I’m a professional pianist and arranger with almost 10 years of experience in playing, teaching, and composing music. I can write and arrange music scores for various genres, instruments, and levels, with a special focus on piano. Services I do: – I can create sheet music. I use notation software (such as Dorico/Finale/Sibelius) to create clean and readable sheet music. – I can turn solo audio recordings into music notation or Midi files; – I can optimize and edit music scores for print; – I can rewrite orchestral pieces for solo piano, piano duets, piano and vocals, and for other ensembles and instruments; – I can record piano tracks in mp3, midi, or wav formats.

Music Notation & Engraving | MuseScore | Choral & Orchestral Scores | Sacred Music I'm an academic composer and professional music engraver with 8+ years of experience delivering publication-quality notation for soloists, chamber ensembles, choirs, and orchestras. What clients hire me for: Music Notation & Engraving (MuseScore 4) I produce clean, performance-ready scores from scratch or from your existing materials. Whether it's a solo piece, a string quartet, or a full symphonic work, the result is a print-ready file that meets publisher standards. Choral & Sacred Music Editing I specialize in liturgical choral settings — hymns, antiphons, and ancient church melodies harmonized for SATB and other vocal configurations. I handle prosody carefully, ensuring every syllable falls naturally on the correct beat and stress. Orchestration & Original Composition From academic chamber works (including unconventional ensembles like Trio + Organ) to full orchestral arrangements — I write and orchestrate in styles ranging from tonal to contemporary. Transcription from Audio/Video I transcribe music by ear from recordings with high accuracy and format it into clean, editable scores. Live recordings, studio tracks, or archival audio — all handled professionally. Non-Standard & Contemporary Notation Experienced with music without barlines, proportional notation, graphic scores, and other non-traditional formats. If you need a choral score edited for an upcoming performance, an orchestral transcription completed on deadline, or an original sacred anthem composed for a specific liturgical occasion — I deliver precise, detail-oriented work with deep respect for musical tradition. Message me with your project details and I'll respond promptly. Keywords: music notation, music engraving, MuseScore, choral score, orchestral arrangement, sacred music, liturgical music, SATB, music transcription, sheet music, score editing, music composition, hymn harmonization, choral music editing, orchestration, chamber music, string quartet arrangement, music copyist, academic composition, contemporary notation, church music, vocal score

Do you want an original song/beat to sing or rap over OR maybe just use as background music? If you do, then you found the guy who's going to do it AS IF IT WAS HIS SONG (and real cheap)! I'm very passionate about music and I obsess about every little detail, and I ALWAYS care for each song I make as if it were my child! (yes, I know it sounds weird.) First off, here's a list of what I DON'T do: ❌ USE AI Now, here's what I DO do (haha..): ✅ I make songs from scratch, genres include (but are not limited to): Pop, Rock, Hip Hop, Funk, Metal ✅ If you want a sample-based beat I can make the sample myself (so you can rest assured no record label will sue you when your song goes multi-platinum)* ✅ I structure the song so it keeps the listener interested ✅ I mix and master songs you wrote yourself ✅ I do session work as a guitarist (record a special solo for your song, rhythm guitars, etc.) Here's what you can expect: 💎 High-quality WAV files (44.1 or 48 kHz)** 💎 FULLY mixed & mastered songs 💎 Stems*** 💎 Exclusive or Non-exclusive with unlimited rights**** 💎 High-quality sounds 💎 Fast delivery (4-6 days) 🍀 Rest assured, your song is in the hands of a creative and detail-obsessed maniac. Here are some FAQs, but feel free to reach out to me if you have any additional questions: * There is always a possibility for record labels to sue you for your song having a sample from their song. It can be only a snippet or a full 8-bar loop, it does not matter because they are greedy and they will find you if they want to. However, there are songs that are so old the contract with the artist and the label expired and they now fall in the Public Domain, so they are free to sample. Unless you explicitly tell me to sample a specific song, I will always make my own samples and use them for your song. ** 44.1 kHz is for distributing to streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music etc. 48 kHz is for films or videos. Unless you specify that you have a special request, I will always send a WAV file with the sample rate set accordingly for your purposes. *** Stems are separate audio tracks for each individual sound in a song. They are useful if you plan on processing them further or using only a portion of the song. **** An Exclusive license for a song means that no one else but you can have it and only you are allowed to distribute the song. While you have unlimited usage over the song (streams, sales of physical copies, number of music videos, etc.), I am still the sole owner of it and retain the original copyright. This agreement is more expensive and I do 50/50 profit splits with this kind of deal, but I am open for negotiations. - A Non-exclusive with unlimited rights license means that you have unlimited usage over the song, but I can still sell it to other people and they too can distribute it. - The license agreements refer only to songs without vocals (beats/instrumentals). I won't sell your song with your vocals to other people. - All guitar session work is non-exclusive.
