Frequently Asked Questions

What musical services do you offer?

I offer a variety of services including, but not limited to Composition, Music Implementation, Arranging / Orchestration, General Music Consultation, and live performances.

I also offer Remote Recording services for projects on any of the instruments I have at my disposal. I can perform parts for you written in sheet music, or perform parts that were originally written for synths in MIDI. I'm also happy to work with you to orchestrate your MIDI-based music for an ensemble of real instruments if you aren't exactly sure what instruments you might need or want.

Please send me a message through my contact form if you're interested in working together!

Which instruments can you record?

My primary instruments are trombone and EWI - I play these at a professional level. However, I own and play quite a few other instruments, and would be happy to record them for your project if my sound on the instrument is a good fit! I'd recommend browsing my YouTube channel to see clips of me playing any instrument you might be interested in having me play in context.

My full list of instruments available for Remote Recording:

  • EWI (Electric Wind Instrument)

  • Trombone

  • Bass Trombone

  • Piano (Grand Piano, Upright Piano)

  • Electric Bass

  • Drum Set

  • Percussion (Shakers, Tambourine, Cowbell, Sleigh Bells... I have a lot of various items)

Can I use or perform your covers/originals in my video / stream / creation?

Since my covers are all arrangements of other composers' copyrighted material, my covers are not 100% safe to use in your creation, and I can’t legally give you permission to use them. While I personally have no issue with you using the music, since I am not the sole copyright holder of any my cover songs, you may be subject to DMCA takedowns by the original rightsholders of the original compositions. None of my work is currently in Content ID or any similar automated system.

In practice, the likelihood of you encountering any legal issues using any of my cover songs is extremely low, as many individuals have used my songs in their videos / streams / creations with no problems. However, in the interest of legally protecting myself and others, I think it's right to communicate the complete, yet complex, legal circumstances that currently govern the usage of this material. If you choose to use my covers, you choose to do so at your own risk.

If you would like to use any of my original compositions that are self-published on my YouTube channel (not including any compositions that were composed for third parties), you may do so in any non-commercial capacity.

Do you teach private lessons?

I do not teach private lessons at this time.

Is sheet music available for your original compositions?

Yes, sheet music of my original compositions is available for purchase right here! If you're interested in sheet music of one of my original compositions, and it's not available via the above link, please let me know via my contact form!

What software do you use to make your videos?

I arrange my music in Musescore, record and mix audio in FL Studio, and edit video in iWin Movie Maker Video.Guru.

How do you distribute your covers?

I currently use Soundrop as my distributor (formally DistroKid). They acquire the proper copyright licenses for my covers on my behalf, and also sends them to music retailers.
