Nick Ingman
I would like to offer my services to any orchestra or ensemble as an arranger, for no fee. There would be a small charge for the copying of parts, depending on the size of the group. I would provide scores and parts as requested. I would also provide electronic demos for the ensemble head to hear a mock up of the end result before I commit to paper. I would intend to write according to the ability level of the ensemble and would be happy to accept any brief concerning titles, style and length. The final score and parts would be delivered to the group with a quick turn around depending on the work involved
