All of my clients sign a commission agreement or contract defining essential information to have your music finished on time. These document includes deadlines, expectations, payment schedules, instrumentation, length of work, etc.

While each commission is unique, I require 50% when signing the agreement and the remaining 50% upon delivery of the score/parts.

While factors of ensemble type and skill level may affect the required time of creative work, a minimum of 3 months is typically advised for completion of the commission. You, the client, will receive bi-weekly updates regarding the commissioned work(s).

Your finished music comes professionally engraved to the highest standard. Score and/or parts will be delivered via emailed PDF files. Printed scores are also available for additional fees and shipping costs.

Are you unsure about the feasibility to commission a new, custom musical work? If so, there are alternatives:

1. I always have new works and arrangements that are ready for an ensemble or soloist to premiere! Contact me about these options to enjoy reduced pricing and a condensed timeline.

2. Co-commission a work by joining with another ensemble, school, or organization. More musicians enjoy premiering a new work and the cost is split!
