What I do

Now this is the post that it would be nice for Google to catch.

Since I discovered I have a very good aural memory in my mid-teens, even though I hadn't taken piano lessons, I elected to take on music as a career. I discovered a talent for transcribing music from recordings (since I have perfect pitch), and at the same time learned how professional orchestrating and copying is done, so I've moved ahead in that line of work. Unfortunately I've experienced serious setbacks in the past few years, as change has been inevitable and I wasn't quite prepared for it. Be that as it may, here goes:

• Music copyist (extraction/reconstruction of pc-stored data, and new data entry) using Finale 2003 or 2007 exclusively. Recently reconstructed a one-act opera running a few hundred pages.
• Orchestrator/arranger/transcriber: Numerous works of this type for concert band, during my tenure from 1993-2005 as a music librarian (details available so e-mail me). Also recently reconstructed a 1912 operetta for a prestigious midwestern company.
• Long-time Mac & Finale user, also experienced with Adobe software (early user of InDesign).
• This list will be enlarged and updated going forward.

It would be improper on this blog to directly do business, but e-mail is welcome. More later.
