After three decades directing the jazz ensembles at New Trier High School (Winnetka, Illinois), with a prior six years at Lakewood High School (Lakewood, Ohio) and the 90-minute each-way commutes, marching band duties, and kid's travel sports, etc. ... it left little time to arrange and compose music.
RETIREMENT CHANGED ALL THAT!
On this website I’ve collected pieces I've done for college, high school and middle school jazz ensembles, marching and concert bands. (More arrangements added as they are finished.) Many of the jazz charts have MP3s recordings of a rhythm section performing the solo backgrounds for students to practice their soloing at home. Much of this music has been used at the sixteen All-State and many All-District bands I've directed. All the music is performance-tested!
All of the music on my website is only $50 to receive PDFs of the score and parts.
For $60 you can receive a printed set of parts (one of each part and not taped) and a score,
including a link to download all the PDFs, plus shipping. (Probably $6-$10)
Now the fun part and my purpose in creating this website...
If you would like, you can direct $20 of the music's $50 or $60
as a donation to one of the following charities:
- More information about these charities can be found HERE.
From your students, their parents, and me... THANK YOU for all you do to inspire young people
to perform and appreciate music.
Enjoy every opportunity to teach and make a difference while it lasts.
