About Me

I’ve been a barbershopper since 1991 and an arranger since 1999. I’ve sung with St. Louis Harmony, Greater Harrisburg, and Vienna-Falls Choruses; I’m currently a Chapter at Large member in Sweet Adelines Region 14 and a member of the Barbershop Harmony Society. My arrangements have been performed by choruses and quartets all over the world, at both the regional and international levels, in Sweet Adelines, Barbershop Harmony Society, and Harmony Incorporated. I’m active as a coach for beginning and intermediate arrangers in Sweet Adelines, and my book, Arranging Barbershop Harmony, has been used in arranger education at the regional level. In my professional life I’m an archivist at Georgetown University Law Center.

About My Arrangements

  • Pricing: Chorus pricing, $4.00/copy with 10 copy minimum. Buy one copy for each singer. Quartet pricing, $18.95 for a set of four copies. Quartets should buy a quantity of ONE – not four! The download will contain 4 copies. Contact me if you have questions about this, or if you aren’t sure which link is the right one for your group.
  • Voicing: SSAA for all songs, TTBB for some. Contact me if you would like an SSAA chart transposed for TTBB; see the services page for pricing.
  • Song Assessment: Sweet Adelines members should review the Song Evaluation Database (SED). to see if a song is included, as songs are being added all the time. In the arrangement list, songs with ** after the title are in the database. Review the SED for any research notes or additional information about a given song.
  • Previews
    • For public domain songs, use PayPal or Venmo to order a single copy from me.
    • For copyrighted songs, I cannot send preview copies – it’s illegal for me to send unlicensed music. Sheet Music Plus listings, especially the quartet listings, have more pages available to preview online than Sheet Music Direct listings. If you subscribe to Sheet Music Direct’s PASS program you’ll get full viewing access to all eligible scores on Sheet Music Direct. If you are a MuseScorePRO+ member, you’ll receive full viewing access to scores on MuseScore.com. Check the websites for more information and prices.
  • Learning tracks – Links to track makers are on the arrangement page.
  • Arrangements not available for purchase – A few titles are not available for online purchase because they aren’t available in the ArrangeMe catalog or the MusicNotes catalog. They can be licensed for your group by requesting clearance from the copyright holder. If permission is granted, the license is specific to your group and the fee is set by the copyright holder.
